Creamy Layered Banana Pudding Parfaits

Rich vanilla-banana pudding layered with sliced bananas and cookies, then topped with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 1 cups local 3.25% milk
  • 1 can local evaporated milk
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp local butter
  • 2 cups local 35% whipping cream, whipped
  • 5 ripe medium bananas, sliced
  • 3 cups lady fingers or vanilla wafer cookies
  • Whipped Cream for topping
  • ½ cup shaved chocolate, optional topping

Instructions

  1. Step
    In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and evaporated milk. Heat over medium-low until warm and steaming, but do not let it boil.
  2. Step
    In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cornstarch, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. While whisking constantly, slowly pour about half of the warm milk into the egg mixture. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and whisk to combine.
  3. Step
    Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the pudding thickens and begins to bubble. Continue cooking for about 1 minute, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
  4. Step
    Add the butter and whisk until it is fully melted and the pudding is smooth. Pour the pudding into a heatproof bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.
  5. Step
    Once the pudding is chilled, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until medium peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding in two or three additions, mixing just until no streaks remain.
  6. Step
    To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of pudding into the bottom of each serving glass. Add a layer of broken vanilla wafers or ladyfingers, followed by a single layer of banana slices. Spoon more pudding over the bananas, making sure they are fully covered. Repeat with another layer of cookies, bananas, and pudding, finishing with pudding on top.
  7. Step
    Cover the parfaits and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours so the cookies soften slightly. Just before serving, top each parfait with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and a few cookie crumbs. Serve chilled.
