Sweet ripe bananas are layered in a pie dish, covered with rich sweetened condensed milk and a few simple pantry ingredients, then baked until golden and caramelized. Every spoonful is silky, sweet, and packed with cozy homemade flavor.
Ingredients
4 ripe bananas, sliced
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whole milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers for topping
Butter for greasing the dish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a pie plate or small baking dish with butter.
Arrange the sliced bananas evenly in the prepared dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture gently over the bananas, making sure they are fully coated.
Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers over the top for a delicious golden finish.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly caramelized around the edges.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the ultimate creamy texture, or chill it for a richer custard-like dessert.
