Ingredients

2/3 c. sugar

1/4 c. cornstarch

1/4 tsp salt

2 c. nonfat milk

1/2 c. heavy cream

4 egg yolks

2 tbls unsalted butter

1 tsp. vanilla

as many bananas as you want!

vanilla wafers (I've been informed there is NO substitute for these...why can't they make them without corn syrup and hydrogenated oil?!?)

Crack egg yolks into large bowl. In saucepan whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Very gradually (a few tablespoons at a time), whisk in milk and cream, taking care to dissolve cornstarch. Cook mixture over med. heat. 

When milk mixture is warm, add (a little bit at a time) SLOWLY to egg yolks. Careful not to scramble the egg yolks. When all of the pudding mixture has been added to yolks, place pan back onto heat.

Cook over medium heat, whisk with vigor! When first large bubble forms and sputters reduce heat to low...keep whisking and cook 1 minute more. 

Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla into hot pudding. Refrigerate. Slice bananas. Whip some cream. 

When pudding is cool, layer vanilla wafers...pudding...bananas...whip cream and REPEAT…and eat J
