Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar or swerve
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 box Nilla wafers
  • 5 bananas
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • dash salt

Instructions

  • Place a layer of Nilla Wafers in the bottom of a medium-sized mixing bowl. Slice a banana over the top. Repeat two more times with another layer of wafers and the remaining bananas.
    1 box Nilla wafers, 5 bananas
  • In a saucepot (or double boiler) on medium-low heat, add all ingredients except for the vanilla. Stir well with a wire whisk. Allow to cook, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until thickened - about 15 minutes.
    1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 3 egg yolks, 2 cups milk, dash salt
  • Add in vanilla and stir. Immediately pour over wafers and bananas. Let sit for about five minutes or so before serving, to allow wafers time to absorb pudding. Top with meringue, if desired.
    1/2 tsp vanilla
