Nilla Banana Pudding
One of my favorite things for sure...
One of my favorite things for sure...
As a child I grew up eating homemade banana pudding. It was a recipe handed down from my grandmother to my mother and then to me!!! The recipe was eventually placed on Nabiscos Nilla Wafers boxes. I am not sure if my grandmother's recipe was exactly the same but I can tell you that they taste the same. This is a delicious dessert and one I make every year. I wanted to share it in time for Thanksgiving. If you have never tried it, I think you will love it.
In years past I have made them for our family members. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, my neighbor and one for us.
Here is a link to the recipe by Nabisco.
To make it easy I will post the recipe here as well.
Nilla Wafer Banana Pudding
Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/3 cup flour
dash salt
3 eggs, separated
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
45 NILLA Wafers, divided
5 bananas, sliced
Instructions
HEAT oven to 350°F.
MIX 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt in top of double
boiler. Blend in 3 egg yolks and milk. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water 10
to 12 min. or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in
vanilla.
RESERVE 12 wafers for garnish. Spread small amount of
custard onto bottom of 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Cover with layers of 1/3 each of
the remaining wafers, bananas and remaining custard. Repeat layers 2 times.
BEAT egg whites on high speed of mixer until soft
peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread
over custard, sealing well to edge of dish.
BAKE 15 to 20 min. or until lightly browned. Cool
slightly. Top with reserved wafers just before serving.
What special dessert will you be making this year?
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.

Thank you Julie. I do love this recipe and making it every year brings back some wonderful memories for me. I have found that everyone that tries it loves it. My husband family is hooked on it now. When we were home I would have to make many of them for them everyone. So lots of great memories for sure. Hugs, Beverly
DeleteSuch a scrumptious classic! I really like how, even as a layered dessert, this is somewhat lighter than a lot of holiday sweet fair. It helps to balance the richness of a heavy meal, like Thanksgiving dinner, so nicely.
