Here’s a classic Homemade Banana Pudding—creamy, nostalgic, and super easy to make with simple ingredients.
🍌🍮 Homemade Banana Pudding
Ingredients:
- 2–3 ripe bananas (sliced)
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch (or custard powder)
- 2 egg yolks (optional, for richer custard)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1 pack vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits
👩🍳 Method:
1. Make custard:
- In a saucepan, mix milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks (if using).
- Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until thick and creamy.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
2. Layer the pudding:
- In a dish or glass bowl:
- Add a layer of vanilla wafers
- Add banana slices
- Pour warm custard over it
- Repeat layers until ingredients are used.
3. Add topping:
- Spread whipped cream on top.
- Chill in fridge for 2–4 hours (best overnight).
🍽️ Serving:
- Serve cold and creamy
- Top with extra banana slices or crushed wafers
🌟 Tips:
- Use slightly firm bananas so they don’t turn mushy
- Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness
- For extra richness, fold whipped cream into custard before layering
If you want, I can also give you a no-cook version, a Southern-style American banana pudding like Banana Pudding, or a healthy low-sugar version 🍌
