Lightened Up Banana Pudding

This is basically the classic with fewer calories and fat. Stirring the sour cream into the cooked pudding gives it a rich creaminess.
Level: Intermediate
Total: 30 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup sugar
  2. 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  3. 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
  4. 1 1/2 cups lowfat (1 percent) milk
  5. 1 large egg
  6. 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  7. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  8. 2 ripe large bananas
  9. 8 reduced-fat vanilla wafers, broken

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large saucepan; whisk in the milk until smooth. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking, until bubbles begin to form. Remove from the heat.
  2. Whisk the egg in a medium bowl. Slowly pour 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg while whisking vigorously; whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, whisking vigorously, until thick and starting to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, whisk in the sour cream and vanilla and let cool until thick, whisking frequently. 
  3. Cut the bananas into thin slices. Layer a few banana slices, a few wafer pieces and 2 tablespoons of the prepared pudding in each of 4 glasses; repeat the layering once and then top with a final layer of pudding. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Very nice and easy recipe for those who don’t like their desserts to be too sweet.

Great for a faster, easier, healthier homemade nana pudding. I used broken up graham crackers ( didnt have nillas). I also added a lg Tblspn cocoa powder to sugar mix for a lite chocolate flavor. Yummy
