Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: Refrigerate for 4 Hours, or overnight

Yield: 6- 8 Persons

Ingredients

For the Custard:

1 1/2 cup icing (powdered) sugar
1/2 cup corn starch
6 egg yolks
5 cups fresh milk
4 tbs butter
2 tsp vanilla
5 ripe bananas (to go in the filling once the custard is cold)

For the Topping:

2 cups heavy whipping cream
4 tbs icing (powdered) sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Grated Chocolate or other sprinkles, decoration etc

Instructions:

Make the custard as follows;

1. Put icing (powdered) sugar, corn starch, egg yolks, 1/2 cup of fresh milk in a bowl and stir. Set aside.

2. Put the rest of the milk in a pot with the butter and heat till just bubbling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

3. Add the hot milk a bit at a time to the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Pour the mixture back into the pot and put back on the stove.

4. Stir until mixture thickens and set aside to cool.

Build the Pudding

1. Slice up bananas and put a layer into the bottom of a serving dish.

2. Put half the cooled custard into the pudding bowl, covering all the bananas.

3. Place another layer of sliced bananas and top with the rest of the custard. Chill overnight or at least 4-6 hours.

Make the Topping

1. Whip the heavy whipping cream with 4 tbs of icing (powdered) sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla till stiff peaks.

2. Top the pudding with the whipped cream and grate some chocolate over or decorate how you like.

***NOTES: Everyone’s pudding will vary slightly in colour due to the eggs. The photos you see here are using Dutch eggs and the yolks do seem to be a stronger colour than what you may find elsewhere, so don’t be alarmed if your pudding is a paler yellow colour. It is just down to the egg yolks!
