Banana Pudding Recipe

submitted by reader Stella Thompson of Fort Payne, AL

Ingredients
1 11-ounce box vanilla wafers
4 large or 6 small ripe bananas, sliced
3 egg yolks, well beaten
1 1/2 cups sugar (see Tips From Our Test Kitchen below)
1/2 cup cornstarch or flour
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Layer vanilla wafers and bananas in a bowl until it is almost full. Mix egg yolks with sugar, cornstarch, and milk in a saucepan. Cook on low heat until thick. Add vanilla and pour over wafers and bananas.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: This recipe is still sweet with one cup of sugar. Try substituting a no-fat version of evaporated milk for a lighter dessert. If desired, pudding can be topped with meringue or whipped cream. This recipe makes six to eight servings.
