How to Make Best Ever Banana Pudding
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until melted and incorporated.
- Gently fold the mashed bananas into the warm custard mixture.
- Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to chill completely.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and crumbled Nilla Wafers (optional).
