Ingredients

Dairy

  • 2 cups whole milk (Use full-fat milk for a creamy, rich pudding texture.)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (Sweetens the pudding, adjust to taste.)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch (Thickens the pudding without lumps.)
  • 4 large egg yolks (Adds richness and smoothness.)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Enhances flavor.)

Caramel

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (Deep amber caramel, watch closely.)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (Adds richness and balances sweetness.)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (Creates a glossy sauce for drizzling.)
  • 1 pinch sea salt (Optional, enhances flavor.)

Fruits & Cookies

  • 2 large fresh bananas (Ripe but firm for best flavor.)
  • 1 cup vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies (Adds crunch.)
  • 1 cup whipped cream (For topping.)

Instructions 

  • Prepare the pudding by heating milk with sugar, then whisk in cornstarch and egg yolks until thickened. Add vanilla extract and chill.
  • Make caramel by melting sugar over medium heat until deep amber, then stir in butter and heavy cream. Let cool slightly.
  • Slice bananas and layer in cups with cookies, pudding, and caramel. Repeat layers as desired.
  • Top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

For best results, use ripe bananas and keep the pudding chilled before serving.
