I have known several people in my life that have claimed banana pudding as their favorite dessert. I was scrolling though a friend's old copies of Southern Living magazine, and I found this recipe in an issue from 1988. I have probably made this 100 times, and it is always wonderful. I love it when it is served warm, but preferably not after a rich meal. You will find this dessert to be rich enough on its own. As always, I would love to hear from you if you make this. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
2 eggs, separated (whites at room temp)
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
18-24 vanilla wafers
2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
2tbsp sugar
Method: Combine 2/3 c of sugar and cornstarch in a heavy sauce pan; mix well. Stir in water; mix well. Beat egg yolks, add milk mixing well. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until mixture boils. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cool slightly. Arrange 1/2 of vanilla wafers in bottom of 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Spread with half of pudding, top with banana slices. Arrange remaining wafers on outside of dish, spread with remaining pudding.
Combine egg whites ( at room temp) with cream of tartar; beat at high speed with electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add 2 tbs of sugar beating until stiff peaks form. Spread over pudding sealing to edge of the dish.
Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. (I prefer it warm.) Enjoy!

Banana pudding is one of the most iconic desserts. The flavor of the fruit permeates the pudding, the cookies soften and everything slowly melds together into a desert that is greater than the sum of its parts. Thanks for sharing the wonderful recipe.
