Description
Banana pudding, beloved by all, is really more of an icebox cake than a pudding. No matter what you call it, creamy vanilla pudding studded with chopped bananas and layered with vanilla wafers that soften into cake while the dessert rests in the fridge is comfort food of the highest order. Add a coconut whipped cream topper, and you're in business. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Jessie Sheehan.

Directions
- Whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Add the milk and cream, then the egg and egg yolk, and whisk until the eggs are well blended. Set the pan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly.
- Once bubbles begin popping on the surface and the pudding thickens slightly, about 7 minutes, reduce heat to medium and whisk continuously for 45 seconds for the cornstarch to fully cook. Remove pan from heat.
- Add the vanilla and butter and whisk until the butter melts.

I work at Yummly, and I'd tasted this pudding during testing and it had been one of my favorites then - I finally had a party invite worthy of this pudding, so I made it myself. Very easy to make, great for a hot day, and easily as delicious as I remembered it. A total hit at the party, will make again. I used big fancy-looking toasted slices of coconut on top and they looked pretty, but they weren't a good texture in the pudding. Next time I'll go with good ol' sweetened shredded, like the recipe says.

Amazing! Super easy, especially the pictures of each step. Will be making this again and variations of the pudding too! Yum
