@megansearcy6: 🍌🤍 Dolly Parton's Banana Pudding 🍮✨ Ingredients: For the Vanilla Pudding: - ¾ cup granulated sugar - ⅓ cup all-purpose flour - ¼ teaspoon salt - 3 cups whole milk - 4 large egg yolks - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract For the Layers: - 4–5 ripe but firm bananas, sliced - 1 box (11 ounces / 312 g) vanilla wafer cookies - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, optional, for the bananas For the Whipped Cream Topping: - 1½ cups cold heavy whipping cream - ¼ cup powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Crushed vanilla wafers, for garnish - Banana slices, for garnish Directions: 1. Start the Pudding: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. 2. Cook Until Thickened: Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until the mixture becomes hot and begins to thicken. Reduce the heat to low. 3. Temper the Egg Yolks: Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Slowly add about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the yolks while whisking continuously. 4. Finish the Custard: Slowly whisk the tempered yolks back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy. Do not let the custard boil vigorously. 5. Add Butter and Vanilla: Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until smooth. Let the pudding cool for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 6. Prepare the Bananas: Slice the bananas into rounds. If desired, gently toss them with a small amount of lemon juice to help reduce browning. 7. Build the First Layer: Arrange a layer of vanilla wafers across the bottom of a 9 × 13-inch (23 × 33 cm) serving dish. Add a layer of sliced bananas, followed by about one-third of the warm vanilla pudding. 8. Repeat the Layers: Continue layering vanilla wafers, bananas, and pudding until the ingredients are used, finishing with pudding on top. 9. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The vanilla wafers will soften into a cake-like texture as they absorb the creamy pudding. 10. Make the Whipped Cream: Beat the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft-to-medium peaks form. 11. Finish the Pudding: Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled banana pudding. Garnish with crushed vanilla wafers and fresh banana slices just before serving. 12. Serve: Scoop generously into bowls and serve cold for layers of creamy homemade vanilla custard, tender bananas, soft vanilla wafers, and fluffy whipped cream.
