Banana pudding is the creamy, soothing treat that Southern grandmas and aunts across the region prepare for their families. Creating individual parfaits makes for a pretty presentation, and it feels like a custom present when served after a dinner party. However, you can also layer these ingredients in an 8-inch square baking dish. The kick of moonshine is a nice way to add some spice and character to whipped cream.

For the custard

1 Tbs. unflavored gelatin
2 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
2 large eggs
10个大蛋黄
2 cups puréed ripe bananas (from 2 or 3 bananas)
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice

用于组装

3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
2 Tbs. plain yogurt
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
30 to 40 vanilla wafers
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup moonshine or bourbon

Preparation

Make the custard

To bloom the gelatin, sprinkle it over the surface of 1/4 cup cold water; set aside until the water has been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
将浓奶油，香草豆，一半的糖和盐混合在2夸脱的锅中，用中火煮熟，搅拌，直到混合物煮熟为止。
在一个搅拌碗中，将鸡蛋，蛋黄和剩余的糖一起搅拌。通过在三分之一的热奶油混合物中搅拌蛋黄。将钢化的鸡蛋混合物搅拌到剩余的热奶油中，并继续用中火煮熟，用木勺搅拌，直到混合物变稠到足以覆盖勺子的后部。加入盛开的明胶并充分混合。混合香蕉泥和柠檬汁。将奶油蛋ust放到一个玻璃碗上，用压在表面上的保鲜膜盖住，然后冷藏至至少3小时或过夜。

Assemble the parfaits

Toss the banana slices with the yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Crush the vanilla wafers slightly.
Whip the cream, sugar, and moonshine in an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the parfaits, spread a small amount of the chilled pudding in the bottom of your dessert bowls or parfait glasses. Cover with a layer of broken vanilla wafers (you’ll probably use 5 to 7 wafers for each parfait, depending on how much texture you want), followed by a layer of banana slices. Spoon more of the pudding on top of the bananas and repeat, ending in a layer of pudding. Top the parfaits with a dollop of whipped cream and a whole vanilla wafer or two. Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours before serving.
