Banana Pudding and Banana Pudding Dessert

Banana Pudding - 

I came up with the recipe to make banana pudding dairy free for FAKF once she could no longer have dairy.  

4 bananas blended smooth - hold till the end

2 cups milk (I used coconut & almond but any alt milk can work... cashew, oat, etc.)

4 eggs beaten 
2 tbs corn starch
1/2 cup sugar

1/4 salt
1 - 2 tsp vanilla  (or to taste)

M A K E 

in a food processor or blender blend the bananas until smooth and hold. 

add the corn starch to the beaten eggs and stir until incorporated/ smooth 

add everything but the bananas to a saucepot and heat on medium-high using a wire whip blend everything together. 

my aunt d taught me a rotating figure 8 helps to catch all the sides.

keep using the whip to stir until bubbles start to form. 

turn the heat down and let the pudding thicken - you should see streaks pulling thru the pudding while stiring. 

once the pudding has thickened add the banana puree and fold in.

cool and serve. 

I continued on to make banana pudding dish with nilla wafers and dairy free whipped cream (freakin' cool whip!). 

I used a nice bowl since this was for a party and layered the banana pudding with the wafers, cool whip and fresh bananas slices.

for the decoration on top i crushed some of the wafers to give texture on top of the whipped cream then used whole cookies to add a nice design....  folks loved it and had no clue it was dairy free.
