How to Make Banana Custard Pudding

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 3 cups whole milk over medium heat, ensuring no lumps form.
  3. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks. Temper the yolks by slowly whisking in 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  5. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 1-2 minutes). Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer.
  8. Just before serving, gently fold in 2 ripe bananas, sliced.
  9. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs (optional).
