A delightful dessert made with layers of ripe fruit, velvety homemade pudding, and fluffy whipped cream, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 cups Fresh bananas, sliced
¾ cup Granulated sugar
¼ cup All-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 ¾ cups Milk
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Continuously stir the mixture until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 8-10 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Transfer the pudding to a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chilled.
While the pudding is chilling, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Once the pudding has chilled, assemble the dessert. In a large glass bowl or individual cups, layer the sliced bananas, followed by a layer of pudding, and then a layer of strawberries. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with additional sliced strawberries and bananas if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
