Here’s a delicious, easy-to-make Strawberry Banana Pudding that’s creamy, fruity, and perfect for any dessert craving.
🍓 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 4–6 graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
👩🍳 Instructions
🔹 1. Make the pudding
- In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and cornstarch.
- Whisk together until smooth, then cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and slowly add a few tablespoons of the hot milk mixture to temper them.
- Add the egg yolk mixture back to the pan and cook for 3–5 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Let it cool slightly.
🔹 2. Layer the pudding
- In serving glasses or a dish, place a layer of crushed biscuits.
- Add a layer of banana slices.
- Pour a layer of pudding on top.
- Add strawberries and repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
🔹 3. Chill and serve
- Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours to set.
- Optional: top with whipped cream or extra strawberries before serving.
💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg between layers.
- Use ripe fruits for maximum sweetness—no extra sugar needed.
- Graham crackers soak up the pudding nicely, giving a soft, cake-like texture.
