Nilla Wafer Banana Pudding Recipe

Make pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk eggs. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, flour, and salt, then whisk in milk. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken and bubble. Reduce heat to low and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and slowly pour a little milk mixture into eggs, whisking constantly so that they don’t scramble. Add egg mixture to pan, whisking constantly. Bring back to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. Let pudding cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fold in sweetened condensed milk, then continue to cool pudding to room temperature. Make whipped cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean seeds and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into cooled pudding in two additions. In a large trifle dish, layer Nilla Wafers (reserving some for topping!), bananas, and pudding.  Cover and refrigerate overnight. Crush more Nilla Wafers on top before serving.
