Instructions
-
- Preheat oven to 375°. In a food processor, turn your graham crackers and pretzels into crumbs. Add sugar and melted butter, mix until combined. Press into an ungreased pie pan and bake for 8-10 minutes and allow to cool.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt. Add milk and stir until dry ingredients are dissolved. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until your pudding thickens and begins to boil. **This takes 15-20 minutes and you really need to babysit this mixture to keep it from burning on the bottom**
- Once your pudding has started to boil, add a small spoonful of it to the beaten egg yolks, blend quickly. Add the yolks to your pudding, stirring constantly and remove from heat.
- Add vanilla and butter, mix well.
- Arrange your first layer of sliced bananas on the cooled crust.
- Top with half of the pudding mixture.
- Arrange a second layer of sliced bananas on the pudding.
- Cover with the remaining pudding. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Top with whipped cream and more bananas!
