Vegan Banana Pudding

This vegan banana pudding is a modern, healthier twist on the classic dessert. Like the original, it consists of layers of cookie crumbles, sweet vanilla flavoured custard, sliced fresh bananas and whipped cream. But all in a plant-based disguise.

Ingredients

2 bananas, sliced
4 - 8 vanilla wafers crumbled
½ cup coconut whipped cream

Vanilla Custard

⅓ cup sugar
3 tablespoons corn starch
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cup plant-based milk (I used almond milk)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or 1 vanilla pod

Instructions

Put the corn starch, sugar and salt into a medium saucepan and whisk it with the milk until smooth. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Then turn to low heat and continue to stir until the mixture thickens and turns creamy. Turn the heat off, add the vanilla and give it one final stir. Let the custard cool to room temperature.
Slice the bananas and whip the cream.
Prepare two glasses and assemble the layers: vanilla wafers, vanilla custard, sliced bananas, and whipped cream. Repeat until you run out of ingredients.
