Recipe Introduction
Posted by: _starshineeliz*********I love this stuff. There was a time in my life that it was my very favorite dessert. I've been making it for over 20 years now. This is the original recipe that used to be on the Nilla Wafer box. They've changed it a little, so the recipe there now is not quite the same. The homemade custard in this is so delicious.
List of 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 ripe bananas, sliced (about 3 1/2 cups) divided
Recipe
Mix 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt in the top of a double boiler (I do this on the stove in a regular pan and haven't had any trouble). Blend in 3 egg yolks and milk. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water, stirring constantly for 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat: Stir in Vanilla.
Reserve 10 wavers for garnish (may take more than that, I like to stand them up all the way around the rim of the pudding). Spread small amount of custard on the bottom of 1 1/2 qt Oven Proof glass bowl..(Pyrex bowl, makes it really pretty to look at)... Cover with layer of wafers and layer of sliced bananas. Pour about 1/3 of custard over bananas. Continue to layer wafers, bananas, and custard to make a total of 3 layers of each, ending with custard.
Meringue: Best egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Spoon on top of custard, spreading to cover entire surface and sealing well to edges. Use a spoon to pull it up in peaks all over the top.
Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes or until meringue is browned.Then garnish with reserved vanilla wafers, pushing them in at the edges and standing them up all around the pudding in a circle. Cool slightly or refrigerate several hours until chilled. Makes 8 servings.
