LOW CALORIE BANANA PUDDING RECIPES

Steps:

• Separate eggs, placing the whites in the bowl of a stand mixer and the yolks into a saucepan.
• Add sugar, salt, and 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour to the yolks. Splash in about 1/4 of the milk and start blending mixture with a whisk. Pour in remaining milk and whisk until smooth.
• Cook and stir mixture over medium heat until hot to the touch, occasionally dipping your finger in to test. Whisk constantly until custard is thick enough to form ribbons.
• Remove custard from heat and add vanilla extract, banana liqueur, and cold butter. Whisk until butter dissolves. Set custard aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss banana slices with lemon juice.
• Spread a quarter of the custard over the bottom of a baking dish. Add a single layer of vanilla wafers. Cover with 1/2 of the bananas and spread 1/2 of the remaining custard on top. Add another layer of vanilla wafers, using slightly fewer this time. Top with the remaining bananas and custard. Smooth the top and tap dish against the counter to settle the pudding.
• Add cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat using the whisk attachment until foamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff, but not dry, peaks form. Spread meringue over the pudding using a soft spatula, creating ridges for contrast.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meringue is nicely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Bake pie crust as directed on package for one-crust baked pie shell. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Reserve 8 vanilla wafer cookies; coarsely crush remaining 16 cookies. Set aside.
• In large bowl, beat milk and pudding mix with whisk about 2 minutes or until thickened. Spoon 3/4 cup pudding into cooled pie shell. Top with half the crushed vanilla wafer cookies and half the banana slices. Repeat layers; top with remaining pudding. Cover surface of pie with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 3 hours to blend flavors.
• Just before serving, remove plastic wrap. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped topping and a vanilla wafer cookie. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
