Servings: 8
- 9" pie crust
- 3 large bananas sliced into 1/4" slices
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups milk
- 3 egg yolks beaten
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla
- cool whip for serving
Bake pie crust according to package instructions. Once baked, set aside to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, and salt, then stir in the milk. Bring mixture to a low boil until it becomes thick (about 7 minutes). Then, add 2 tablespoons of the milk mixture to a bowl of beaten egg yolks slowly to ensure the eggs don’t start cooking. Add this mixture back to the saucepan.
Heat once again on medium-low heat until the mixture reaches a low boil and continue stirring until thickened, 2-4 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
Line the cooled pie crust with banana slices then pour half of the pudding overtop. Repeat this process once more, lining banana slices and pouring the remaining pudding overtop. Place in the fridge to cool completely, about 5 hours.
Remove from the fridge and serve with cool whip and more sliced bananas. Enjoy!
