When it comes to desserts, there's nothing quite like banana-flavored treats—whether it's a creamy milkshake or a slice of warm banana bread. So naturally, when a friend mentioned a banana pudding recipe, I couldn't resist giving it a try right away.
In our household, Friday evenings are typically reserved for unwinding with a movie and some comfort food after a busy week at work. Living in Brighton, we’re lucky to have plenty of food delivery options nearby, making it easy to round out our meals with something indulgent like chocolates or ice cream for dessert. But this weekend, I wanted to switch things up and treat my family to something special.
While most recipes for banana pudding rely on store-bought wafers, Cool Whip, and instant pudding mixes, I decided to take a more homemade approach. My version combines a rich base made from chilled custard, bread pudding, and vanilla pudding. On top of this foundation, I layered sweetened condensed milk, freshly whipped cream, and cream cheese. Instead of simply adding sliced bananas, I opted for a touch of luxury by sprinkling dark chocolate shavings over the whole thing. It’s a small but impactful detail that elevates the dish beautifully.
If you're planning to try this recipe at home, make sure you’ve got everything you need beforehand, including the right kitchen tools and ingredients. Here’s a quick breakdown:
**Kitchen Tools:**
A set of ramekins that hold about 4-5 ounces each.
**Pudding Ingredients:**
- 1 tablespoon of melted unsalted butter
- ¼ cup of granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- A pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
- A pinch of salt
- 2 cups of hot milk
**Topping Ingredients:**
- Dark chocolate (at least 80% cocoa)
- ¼ cup of granulated sugar
- 4 ripe bananas
- 12 ounces of heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces of cream cheese
- 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk
Before you start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, spices, and salt. Gradually add the hot milk while continuing to stir. Once combined, divide the mixture evenly among your ramekins, filling them roughly one-third full. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the pudding has set. Let the puddings cool completely at room temperature.
For the toppings, slice the bananas thinly and set them aside. Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, blend the cream cheese and condensed milk until smooth. Spread this mixture over the cooled puddings, then arrange the banana slices on top—or if you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle the dark chocolate shavings generously across the surface. Chill the puddings in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
This dessert not only looks impressive but also tastes divine. The combination of textures and flavors makes it a standout choice for anyone looking to impress their guests or simply enjoy a little self-care at home. Whether you serve it solo or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s bound to become a new favorite in your repertoire. Enjoy!
