Banana and Vanilla Wafer with Pudding recipe

As usual in my life, everything has been nuts. This hasn't left me with much time for blogging, but I made this recipe today and it was too delicious not to share. I'm not usually a "side of the box" recipe person, but my husband requested this one when he read it. Its an incredibly delicious dessert that I have officially added to my recipe box.


Prep time: <5 minutes (Chopping banana, measure ingredients)
Cook time - <10
Cool time < about an hour
Total < 1 hour 15 minutes
You'll need:

1 Box of Murray Vanilla Wafer (I stole the recipe from this brand, but any brand would do)
1 Banana (the box calls for 3, but my kids ate two of them before I could make it, I'll be sticking with 1)
1 cup of sugar
4 egg (yolks only)
2 Tbsp flour (all purpose)
2 cups milk (I used 1%)
1 tsp vanilla

Whipped topping (We didn't use this, it was great without it!)

1 large sauce pan

2 qt bowl

Spoon

1. Mix sugar, flour, egg yolk, and milk

2. Stir over medium until it boils (it'll thicken a little as it heats, keep stirring)

3. Remove from heat when it boils

4. Add in vanilla and stir well

5. Layer bottom of bowl with vanilla wafers and 1/2 the sliced banana

6.Put half of the pudding on top

7. Repeat wafer and banana

8. Top with the rest of the pudding

9. Refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour to 2 hours :)

ENJOY!
