Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 cups milk 4 large egg yolks 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 bananas, plus more for garnish 12 shortbread or other vanilla-flavored cookies (4 to 5 ounces total), crumbled, plus more for garnish Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish

Directions

Have ready a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, off heat, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time), whisk in milk, taking care to dissolve cornstarch; whisk in egg yolks.

Whisking constantly, cook mixture over medium heat until the first large bubble forms and sputters. Reduce heat to low; whisking constantly, cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, and immediately pour through sieve into bowl. Stir butter and vanilla into hot pudding. Let pudding cool slightly; meanwhile, slice bananas.

In six 8-ounce glasses, alternately layer warm pudding with cookies and bananas, ending with pudding and covering bananas as completely as you can to prevent discoloration. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour, and covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days.

To serve, top with whipped cream and more crumbled cookies and sliced bananas.

Cook’s Notes For a sweetened whipped cream, beat 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks form.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/21/2011   MRSTLB, Thank you for your help! I'm gonna give it another try tonight.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/20/2011   I made is yesterday and we loved it! The first sputtering bubble took about 15 to 20 mins to form. Mines was thick on the stove before I even let it cool. You should cook it until it's thick.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/19/2011   This was my first attempt at homemade pudding. It didn't get thick after being refrigerated for quite a few hours! How long does the first sputtering bubble usually take? Should I have seen it become pretty thick on the stove before refrigerating it? It tastes good put is to thin. I'm thinking about putting it back on the stove top until it hopefully thickens. Any advice?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/20/2010   This recipe was so easy! I will never buy ready-made pudding again. The one thing I did change was adding half a cup of milk more, otherwise it was too sweet.
