Ingredients

For the Banana Pudding

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 125 g sugar

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 liter milk
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 20 ml milk

For the Bananas Foster Topping

  • 10 g butter
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 banana

Instructions

1. Prepare the egg mixture

  • Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
  • Place the 6 egg yolks in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

2. Add the bananas

3. Add the milk

  • Pour in the 1 liter of milk.
  • Whisk everything together until the mixture is fully blended.

4. Dissolve the cornstarch

5. Combine and cook

  • Add the cornstarch mixture to the banana and egg mixture.
  • Stir well to incorporate.
  • Transfer everything to a saucepan.
  • Cook over low heat, whisking constantly so the pudding does not stick to the bottom.

6. Thicken the pudding

  • Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a creamy pudding consistency.
  • Divide the pudding evenly into 4 small dessert cups.
  • Let them cool so the pudding can begin to set.

How to Make the Bananas Foster Topping

1. Melt the butter

  • Place the butter in a pan over low heat.
  • Allow it to melt completely.

2. Make the caramel

  • Add the sugar to the melted butter.
  • Stir well and cook until the sugar melts into a caramel-like mixture.

3. Coat the banana

  • Slice the banana into pieces.
  • Add the banana slices to the caramel.
  • Stir gently until each piece is evenly coated.

Assemble the Dessert

  • Spoon the Bananas Foster topping over each cup of banana pudding.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully chilled and firm.

Serving Suggestion

Serve this chilled banana pudding dessert straight from the refrigerator for the best texture and flavor. The creamy pudding and warm caramel banana topping create a delicious contrast that makes this recipe especially satisfying.
