Roasted Banana Pudding

Patricia @ ButterYum

My daughter's best friend is bananas for bananas so I was eager to give this recipe from The Complete Cook's Country TV Show Cookbook a try.  It's amazing how much roasting the bananas intensifies their flavor.  The original recipe is assembled in a trifle bowl, but I simplified the presentation by serving mine in mini glass pie plates.  The pudding can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in the fridge if wrapped well with plastic wrap, which should touch the surface of the pudding.  Just before serving, garnish with vanilla wafers and freshly whipped cream that's been lightly sweetened with sugar and pure vanilla extract.  You might also garnish with a few slices of banana.  Banana chips might be a nice addition.

Note: Use slightly underripe bananas for this recipe.  

If you have overripe bananas to use, check out the recipe for my  To Die For Banana Cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting.
