This is my FAVORITE banana pudding recipe. I like the taste of bananas but do not like the texture. By blending the bananas and cooking brown sugar into them it gives it a caramelized taste. The cookie crumble on top sprayed with ghee butter add a layer of texture that tantalize is the senses.
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup
Pinch of salt
6 egg yolks (save the whites for breakfast)
2 cups milk
2 cans evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 boxes NILLA Wafers
1 sleeve Bordeaux cookies
5 bananas
Ghee butter spray
Heat oven to 350°F.
Blend bananas, salt & brown sugar on heat setting if you have it.
Mix sugar, flour, and salt on top of a double boiler. Blend egg yolks and milk together then add it to the dry ingredients on the double boiler. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened, whisking constantly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla bean paste & puréed bananas..
Reserve a few wafers to crumble on top. Spread the wafers in a deep baking dish. Cover with layers the custard. Give the pan a few taps on the counter to make sure the custard spread throughout the dish.
Crumble a few cookies on top and then spray with ghee butter. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly but I like mine warm.
