Ingredients
- 2 fresh whole eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Simply Organic® Cinnamon
- 1 pound (approximately 3-4 medium) ripe bananas, plus one (for optional garnish)
- 3 cups milk (skim or whole)
- 2 teaspoons Simply Organic® Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract or Simply Organic® Vanilla Flavoring (non-alcoholic)
- 3/4 pound gingersnap cookies, crumbled (optional)
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a blender, puree bananas, and set aside.
- In a heavy pot over medium heat, add milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Just as milk begins to boil, remove from heat and whisk into egg mixture in a slow, steady stream (this helps avoid lumps).
- Return milk and egg mixture to pot over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Stir in vanilla extract, then banana puree, then pour mixture into a clean bowl.
- Chill for 2 hours and serve as is, or for a decorative twist, layer into parfait glasses, alternating ginger snap cookies, banana slices and pudding, and serve garnished with whipped cream and a mint sprig.
