Days 27 and 28 Fave Recipe and what am I looking forward to
Day 27: My Favorite Recipe
My Grandma's Banana Pudding (which actually comes from Nabisco's Nilla Wafer Box)
Most people who make Banana pudding put coolwhip or marshmallows on top. Um. EW. NO. Banana pudding needs the sweet, baked meringue on top, or it's just not good. *sigh* So, every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and when ever I feel like crap day I make this recipe.
Prep: 30 mins - Cook: 15 mins - Cool: 15 mins
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Dash salt
3 eggs, separated
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
45 NILLA Wafers, divided
5 ripe bananas, sliced (about 3 1/2 cups), divided
Additional NILLA Wafers and banana slices, for garnish
1. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt in top of double boiler. 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.
2. Reserve 10 wafers for garnish. Spread small amount of custard on bottom of 1 1/2-quart casserole; cover with a layer of wafers and a 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.
3. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Spoon on top of pudding, spreading evenly to cover entire surface and sealing well to edges.
4. Bake at 350°F in top half of oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned. Cool slightly or refrigerate. Garnish with additional wafers and banana slices just before serving.
Makes 8 servings
Day 28 What I'm Looking Forward To
Finishing my Master's Degree (Just started)
Buying a house (hopefully soon)
Meeting someone to be with (a lost cause at this point, maybe)
