Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 large ripe bananas, peeled
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 4 egg yolks, large
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 extra medium-sized banana, (optional, for decorating the top of the pudding)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pour in the coconut milk and almond milk and stir.
- Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat and whisk until combined.
- Place two of the ripe bananas in a bowl and use a fork to mash them well. Alternatively, you can pulse the bananas in a food processor until they’re creamy and smooth. Stir the lemon juice into the bananas.
- Add the bananas to the saucepan and stir well.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a mug or a small bowl and pour it into the saucepan slowly as you whisk continuously.
- Continue whisking as the pudding mixture heats and thickens, about 10 minutes total. You’ll know it’s thick enough when it coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and coconut oil and transfer to a large bowl.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the pudding to prevent a film from forming and allow it to cool at room temperature for around 30 minutes.
- Transfer to the fridge to chill thoroughly, about 1-2 hours.
- When you’re ready to serve the pudding, dish it out into bowls and slice the extra banana as decoration and for more banana flavor.
Notes
- If you don’t have almond milk, you can substitute it with any dairy-free milk. Gluten-free oat milk is nice and creamy and works well.
- Although this banana pudding recipe is dairy-free and gluten-free, it contains egg yolks, so it’s not vegan.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
