- Remove from heat and add vanilla then pour over bananas and wafers.
- Top with a meringue made with the egg whites (see below) and brown in a hot oven, 425. Serve warm or chilled.
- Meringue: Egg whites need to warm to room temperature.
- Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl, add salt and vanilla.
- Beat on high until they just begin to thicken.
- Then begin adding the sugar, a little at a time (beating well between additions).
- Continue beating until stiff peaks are formed.
- Test by pulling out the beaters and turn over, peaks should not curl over.
- Spread all over pudding, make sure it touches the edges to prevent shrinking.
- Take the back of a spoon and pull up points to make attractive.
