FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Because you’re solely utilizing the egg yolks and never the egg whites on this recipe, you’ll have two egg whites leftover. As an alternative of a whipped cream topping, you may make a meringue topping with the leftover egg whites. Lots of people choose meringue with banana pudding since that’s extra conventional however that’s completely as much as you should you’re not eager to waste the egg whites. I’ve personally by no means made a meringue since we choose whipped cream so I couldn’t inform you how one can obtain an ideal meringue topping however there are many tutorials on the market.
Nope, you’ll be able to depart that layer out should you choose. I feel it provides extra of that banana pudding style and texture however you’ll be able to skip that should you choose and simply put down a layer of sliced bananas.
In fact, you should utilize that should you choose.
No drawback! Simply put the Nilla wafers into a big Ziploc bag and pound them with a rolling pin till totally crushed.
This pie must be stored saved within the fridge. Due to the slices of bananas within the heart, they may begin to brown after a couple of day. If you wish to stretch this pie longer, don’t add the bananas within the center. It’ll hold within the fridge for about 3-4 days. Additionally, making home made whipped cream means it would break down sooner than a whipped topping like Cool Whip.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- vanilla wafers – you do not need to make use of the identify model Nilla wafers though I have a tendency to seek out they style the most effective.
- salted butter – if all you could have is unsalted butter, that’s effective, simply add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the graham cracker crust combination.
- ripe bananas – no inexperienced bananas right here. The most effective tasting bananas are those with some brown on them.
- sugar – I’ve by no means made this with a sugar substitute however I don’t see why it couldn’t be achieved.
- all-purpose flour – that is used to thicken the pudding.
- milk – I exploit complete milk however 2% may be used.
- egg yolks – see my FAQ (ceaselessly requested questions) above on what you are able to do with the leftover egg whites.
- vanilla extract – need a stronger banana taste? Attempt utilizing banana extract.
- heavy cream and powdered sugar – these make the home made whipped cream. You may substitute with Cool Whip should you choose.
HOW TO MAKE BANANA PUDDING PIE:
For the crust: Preheat oven to 350F levels. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick spray. Place 45 of your vanilla wafers into meals processor. Pulse till cookies are finely crushed (reserve ¼ cup of the crumbs to make use of to prime your pie).
Combine remaining crumbs with melted butter. Firmly press into the pie plate. Bake for 10-12 minutes after which take away to chill.
For the pudding: In a medium saucepan over medium warmth, mix the sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk within the milk and stir consistently till the combination involves a low boil and turns into thick (about 7-10 minutes). Scale back the warmth to very low.
Within the bowl that you’ve your egg yolks in, add a few Tablespoons of the recent milk combination (this can hold your eggs from scrambling). Add egg combination to pot very slowly and stir consistently till combination is thickened to the consistency of pudding (about 3-4 minutes). You might want to show your warmth up barely to realize this. Take away from warmth and stir in vanilla.
Now you’re able to assemble. Prepare half the banana slices over the crust. Unfold half of the pudding combination over the bananas.
High the pudding with the remaining 20 vanilla wafers you put aside earlier. High the wafers with the remainder of the bananas. Then end it off with the remaining of the pudding. Place within the fridge to chill utterly.
As soon as your pie has totally cooled, begin making the whipped cream. Utilizing the whisk attachment in your stand mixer (or hand mixer), beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla till gentle peaks type. It helps in case your bowl and your whisk are very chilly. Unfold the whipped cream evenly on prime of the pie.
