Banana Pudding My Way

14 oz. can eagle brand milk
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 1/2 to 3 cups milk
1 large box instant vanilla pudding and pie filling (5.1 oz)
8 oz. cool whip
1 box vanilla wafers
3 or 4 bananas

In large bowl whip cream cheese and Eagle Brand milk until smooth. Add milk and pudding. Stir or beat. Chill 5 minutes. Add cool whip and beat.

In bowl of your choice, 2 1/2 quart. Layer of Cookies, layer of Bananas, and layer of Pudding, repeat ending with last layer of Cookies.

Note: May use instant banana cream pudding and pie filling instead of vanilla pudding. May also use 2 cups whipping cream, whipped, in place of cool whip.

Here is one I found that the family love, I found it a while ago and every time I make it the kids flip out on it.

http://www.texascooking.com/features/apr99bestbanana.htm

Banana Pudding

* 1 cup Sugar
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 tablespoon butter (not margarine)
* 4 egg yolks (large eggs or better)
* box of Vanilla wafers
* 4-5 ripe bananas

Meringue:

* 4 egg whites, at room temperature
* 5 tablespoons sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Baking Tip
The size and shape of the baking dish are important.

If you don't have a 9" x 9" baking dish, you really should. It's a handy size to have. I've made this banana pudding in a round casserole dish, and it just doesn't turn out as well.

Peel the bananas and slice into 3/8-inch rounds; use a ruler (I'm kidding). Cover the banana slices with plastic wrap to keep them from darkening and quickly make your pudding.

Combine the sugar, flour and salt in a bowl, and stir well to mix. Mash out any flour lumps with the back of your spoon. Set aside.

In a heavy saucepan, beat the egg yolks well (just use a fork or whisk, but beat them well). Over medium heat, add the flour mixture to the egg yolks, alternately with the milk and vanilla, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil and, when the mixture begins to thicken, add the butter, continuing to stir. Keep boiling and stirring until mixture reaches a nice pudding consistency. [Note: If you're working with an electric cooktop, adjust the heat so that it's hot enough to boil, but not so hot that the pudding scorches.] Remove from heat.

Place a layer of banana slices in the baking dish on top of the vanilla wafers. Don't stint and put one slice of banana per wafer. Line those banana slices up edge-to-edge. Pour, spreading as necessary, half of the pudding over the banana layer. Put down another layer of vanilla wafers, another layer of banana slices, and cover with the remaining pudding.

Beat the egg whites at high speed until they form soft peaks. Add the cream of tartar. At high speed, gradually add the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the vanilla into the meringue, and spread the meringue over the pudding, sealing it at the sides of the dish.

Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until meringue browns, 12 to 15 minutes, depending upon your oven.

The size and shape of the baking dish are important. If you don't have a 9" x 9" baking dish, you really should. It's a handy size to have. You can get this baking dish from Amazon by clicking here. I've made this banana pudding in a round casserole dish, and it just doesn't turn out as well. Another thing to wonder about.

This recipe makes 6 or 8 servings, and you can count on people asking for seconds. Any leftovers should be covered and refrigerated. And, yes, it's hard to cover anything with a meringue top and anyway, banana pudding is not as attractive after it has been refrigerated. But it's still just as delicious.

Thanks for the replies! Here is one that I found on the internet. Sounds like it will make a big batch!

Banana Pudding

4 quarts Half-n-half (milk)
12 tablespoons (level) cornstarch
4-1/4 cups white sugar
16 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
6-7 fully ripe, firm bananas, sliced
1 box Nabisco Nilla Wafers
Separate the whites and yolks of six eggs. Set the six egg whites aside. In a large bowl combine your dry ingredients, cornstarch, four cups sugar and salt together. In another large bowl whisk your ten whole eggs and the yolks from six eggs until the mixture is well blended. Continuing to stir, pour in milk. Then continuing to stir add dry ingredients at point of stirring to prevent lumps. When your liquid is satin smooth pour into double boiler and cook, uncovered over hot almost boiling water stirring constantly. When your custard begins to thicken (approximately 20 minutes or when it will coat a wooden spoon) remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Set custard aside to cool some while you prepare your baking dish.
Line bottom and sides of a 9x13 or larger baking dish with Nilla wafers; cover the bottom layer of Nilla wafers with sliced bananas. Pour a small amount of custard over your first layer of wafers and bananas and repeat until the dish is full with the top layer being custard. Do not fill to the top but allow approximately 1/2 inch for meringue. Whisk the remaining egg whites, stiff but not dry. Add 1/4 cup of sugar as you whisk and continue to whisk until mixture forms stiff peaks. Spread meringue on top of pudding covering entire top to each edge. Bake in preheated oven (425 degrees) for five minutes or until light golden brown.
Set pudding aside to cool for several hours and allow the Nilla wafers, bananas and custard to get to know one another. If the pudding is not to be eaten within 4-5 hours of completing, place toothpicks in the pudding to support aluminum foil, cover completely and refrigerate.
When serving later the pudding does not have to be reheated but simply brought out and allowed to rest at room temperature for an hour or so before serving. Serves 12-15.

Shellfish- All your replies sound great but I would like to hear how your pudding recipe turned out. Thanks!

[SHELLFISH]

I haven't tried any of them yet.
I did want to have one on hand when I have the time.

One thing I was surprised about is that they all call for vanilla pudding or something else with out any banana extract added.

I would add the flavoring to the pudding so even the pudding tastes like banana.

Then just use the banana flavored pudding and you will have lots of banana flavoring with the banana slices.

[Rascal]

The most important thing is that you actually make pudding the painful way, not the instant stuff. I use vanilla pudding, line the dish with vanilla wafers and banana slices, pour the pudding on top and top with more wafers.

Whip cream as you desire.

I've found the banana pudding to be too much. I like a lot of banana flavor, but it just wasn't right. I once tried butterscotch as a kid and hated that move.

[crabclaw]

Find a bag of "Jackson Vanilla wafers" and follow their directions on the bag, you won't be disappointed.

Banana Pudding

4 quarts whole milk
16 tablespoons (level) cornstarch
4-cups white sugar
18 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
6-7 fully ripe, firm bananas, sliced
1 box Nabisco Nilla Wafers
Separate the whites and yolks of six eggs.

This is the formulation I use at the restaurant, I do not do a meringue. I build the pudding in individual 8oz containers and top with 38% heavy whipped cream.

Cook in a double-boiler stirring constantly until thick, remove from heat add vanilla (real vanilla only) let cool and build the servings when chilled, let sit overnight before serving.,

My recipe is fill a bowl with alternating layers of wafers and banana slices then mix up two boxes of French vanilla pudding and pie filling. Pour in the bowl and tap on counter a few times to remove air pockets, refrigerate and enjoy...

Vanilla pudding taste too plain to me from French vanilla is just about right...

[txluke]

There is a lady that wins Chef's choice at a lot of cook offs i cook in. She makes banana pudding but uses those peanut shaped nutter butter cookies instead of nilla wafers. I will only make it that way from now on.
