Ingredients
Scale
- For the Pudding:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large egg yolks
- For the Fruit Layer:
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- For the Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
- Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Let the pudding cool slightly, then layer it in a serving dish with sliced bananas and raspberries.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the layered pudding.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- This pudding can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
