1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
4 bananas, sliced
1 {12oz} box vanilla wafers
1 or 2 cups whipped cream
Mix the sugar with cornstarch in a double boiler. Next, stir in milk - mixing well. Now add the eggs and blend well. Cook in the double boiler, stirring constantly with a spoon, until the pudding becomes thick and can coat the spoon. When it's finished add in the vanilla. Set aside to cool to room temperature. When it's cooled down proceed with putting your banana pudding together.
Line a large bowl or dish with about 1/2 of the vanilla wafers. Next add 1/2 of the banana slices and arrange on the 1st layer of vanilla wafers. Spoon over 1/2 the pudding on top of the bananas. Add 1/3rd of your whipped cream {I used the can variety for a shortcut}. Now repeat your vanilla wafer, banana slices, pudding and whipped cream layers. I had a few cookies left over so I added them to the top. I also sprinkled the crumbs of the cookies on top as a finishing touch.
Cover and set in fridge to cool several hours before eating.
