Craving something sweet the other night and looking at some over-ripe bananas, I thought: banana pudding! Using a simple ratio formula (1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon sugar = eggless pudding) and a banana resulted in some sweet and creamy pudding goodness.
The above ratio will give you 2 servings (just add 1/2 banana or the whole thing if you love bananas), but feel free to make more!
Put the milk, cornstarch and sugar in a pot and stir vigorously over medium heat. Let it bubble and turn the heat down while continuing to whisk. When the mixture thickens, add 1/2 ripe banana and a teaspoon of vanilla (if you like) and whisk away. If you don’t like banana lumps, strain the mixture through a sieve. Pour into individual ramekins and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in fridge or eat warm. Sprinkle with cinnamon for some fall flavor.
This looks amazing! Do you know if there’s a substitute for cornstarch as a thickening agent? (My food allergy issues.) I’ll definitely make this for my family.
Hmmm, you try finding an egg custard recipe or try substituting arrowroot powder?
Dude, this is awesome. I’m so trying it with almond milk and adding some gluten-free vanilla cookies.
OOoo this looks really good! I’m going to try it sometime soon!
