Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, sliced

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup vanilla wafers (plus extra for garnish)

Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the milk and heavy cream, whisking until smooth.

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes.

      Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.

        In serving cups or a large bowl, layer the vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and the creamy pudding mixture. Start with a layer of vanilla wafers, then a layer of bananas, followed by a layer of pudding. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.

          Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the pudding set.

            Before serving, top with whipped cream and extra vanilla wafer crumbs for garnish.
