Banana Vanilla Pudding

Indulge in a Creamy Banana Dessert with a Hint of Vanilla

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas, sliced
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Extra banana slices, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until thoroughly combined.
2. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
4. Remove the pan from heat, then add vanilla extract and butter, stirring until fully blended.
5. In a serving dish, layer half of the banana slices at the base and pour half of the pudding mixture over them.
6. Repeat with the remaining bananas and pudding to create a second layer.
7. Cover the surface with plastic wrap, pressing it gently onto the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
8. Serve chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and extra banana slices for a delightful finish.
