Ingredients
For the vanilla pudding
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
For the whipped cream
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
To assemble
- 4 cups sliced ripe bananas
- 1 11-oz box vanilla wafer cookies
Instructions
- Make the vanilla pudding. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, egg yolks, sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Whisk until it is smooth and set over medium-low heat. Continue whisking until the mixture starts to thicken, 6-8 minutes. Continue to whisk until the pudding is bubbling and thick, 2-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract. Stir until it is smooth. Pass the pudding through a sieve. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for hours.
- Prepare the whipped cream. In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the cream until it is at stiff peaks, 4-6 minutes. Add half of the whipped cream to the chilled pudding and fold it together.
- Assemble the pudding. Place a single layer of wafer cookies in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish, about ⅓ of the cookies. Follow with a layer of sliced bananas and ⅓ of the pudding. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the remaining pudding. Top with the remaining whipped cream and place in the refrigerator until it is well chilled, 2-3 hours.
