Banana Pudding
By Patlynn
We opted for half-and-half instead of milk in our Banana Pudding recipe
- If your food processor bowl holds less than 11 cups, puree half the pudding with the roasted bananas and lemon juice in step 3, transfer it to a large bowl, and whisk in the rest of the pudding.

- 7 large bananas, slightly underripe
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 8 large egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 cups half-and-half
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 (12-ounce) box vanilla wafers
