Ingredients
  

For the Pudding Base
  • 4 large Egg Yolks Substitute with cornstarch if needed.
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar Coconut sugar can be a healthier alternative.
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch Argo starch can be used as an alternative.

  • 2 tbsp Salted Butter Unsalted butter can also be used but adjust salt accordingly.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Try homemade vanilla extract for a richer taste.
  • 2 large Ripe Bananas Use fresh, unblemished bananas for the best flavor.
For the Matcha Layer
  • 2 tbsp Matcha Powder Opt for culinary-grade matcha for the best results.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Matcha Banana Pudding
  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together 4 egg yolks, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 2 cups of whole milk. Heat over low-medium heat, constantly whisking for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
  2. Remove from heat, mix in 2 tablespoons of salted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. In a mixing bowl, sift 2 tablespoons of matcha powder over 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Beat the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Once the vanilla pudding is chilled, whisk it again until smooth and gently fold in one-third of the matcha whipped cream.
  5. Begin layering the matcha pudding, followed by a layer of vanilla wafers and sliced ripe bananas in serving dishes or a trifle dish until all ingredients are used.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, top with reserved matcha whipped cream, additional banana slices, and extra vanilla wafers.
