FAQ
Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes, thaw them completely and drain excess liquid before mashing to avoid a watery dessert.
Is it safe to use raw egg yolk?
Tempering the yolk with hot milk and cooking until thickened reduces the risk. For extra safety, use pasteurized eggs.
Can I make this dessert vegan?
You can try replacing milk with plant-based milk and using a cornstarch slurry with a suitable egg substitute, but texture and flavor may vary.
How thick should the pudding be before removing from heat?
It should coat the back of a spoon and leave a clear trail when you run your finger through it.
