Reduce heat, cook, and stir occasionally for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add Vanilla. Spread small amount on bottom of 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Cover with sliced bananas and wafers. Repeat ending with custard.

I’m glad you’re back to offering up your delicious recipes. I’ll have to give this recipe to Nate since he is the dessert maker in the family. I used to love the way my dad made his banana puddings but I wouldn’t dare attempt to make it—although I must admit, your recipes are really easy to follow.
