Banana Caramel Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Pudding:

2 cups milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Caramelized Banana Topping:

2-3 ripe bananas, sliced

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon water

A pinch of salt

Instructions:

Prepare the Pudding:

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil.

Once thickened, remove the pudding from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins and refrigerate to set while you prepare the topping.

Make the Caramelized Banana Topping:

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and water, stirring until the sugar dissolves and begins to caramelize (about 2-3 minutes).

Add the banana slices to the caramel and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring gently to coat the bananas in the caramel sauce.

Remove from heat and let the caramelized bananas cool slightly.

Assemble the Dessert:

Spoon the caramelized banana mixture over the chilled pudding in each bowl.

Allow the dessert to chill further in the refrigerator if desired, or serve immediately for a warm caramel topping.

This creamy, indulgent dessert combines the smoothness of the pudding with the rich, sweet flavor of caramelized bananas. Enjoy!
