Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 1/4 cups whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 bananas, sliced into ½ inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups Diamond of California® Pecan Chips
- Whipped Cream
- Sprinkles
- Chocolate shavings or chocolate sauce
- 8 Fresh cherries
The Steps
- Place a strainer over a large bowl, set aside.
- In a large sauce pan combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, milk and egg yolks. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until mixture thickens and coats the spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture through the strainer into the large bowl. Cover with plastic wap, pressing it all the way down until it touches the pudding and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- When the pudding is completely cool, start assembling the jars. Put about 1 tbsp of pecan chips in the bottom of each 1-cup jar, then top with a layer of banana slices and about ¼ cup of pudding.
- Add chocolate sauce or shavings, more pecans, more bananas and more pudding to each jar, layering until the jars are full.
- Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of remaining nuts, sprinkles and a fresh cherry.
