00:00Oh hey, what's up. Welcome to my kitchen. It's a little cluttered, but it's cool. It works. You can cook
00:09stuff here.
00:10What are we going to cook today you ask? Well today, we're going to need a dessert for our dinners.
00:17It can't always be about the savory. Sometimes you got to do the sweet, and we are going to bring
00:22the sweet today.
00:22We are going to make the ultimate banana pudding. That's right. It's easy. It's fairly quick.
00:31It's something that you can throw together, and it goes with almost any meal. Staple of the South, here it
00:38is.
00:38Your first step is going to be to set up a double boiler. This is super easy. It's literally just
00:43a bowl or pan set on top of a pot of boiling water.
00:46It allows for a soft heat and will help prevent burning. In goes 1 1⁄2 cup or 99 grams of
00:52granulated sugar, 1 1⁄3 cup or 52 grams of all-purpose flour,
00:58roughly 2 grams or 1 teaspoon of salt, 3 egg yolks, no whites, and finally 2 cups of heavy whipping
01:05cream.
01:07Grab your blender, start it a little too quickly, and shoot liquids all over your kitchen because why the hell
01:13not?
01:13Then, realizing you're not a savage, and you need to be a civilized human, slow it down a bit and
01:19try it again until your mixture has blended smooth.
01:22Next, grab a spoon or spatula because you're going to be stirring this MF for all eternity, aka 10 to
01:2812 minutes, or until you have a nice custard form.
01:32May God have mercy on your forearms, my dudes.
01:36Now, once your custard gets Ethan Klein thick, it's time to take it off the heat.
01:42Now, as soon as you remove it from the heat, make sure you drop in a 1⁄2 teaspoon of vanilla
01:47while stirring it in and basking in the glory of having made custard without it coming from a box.
01:55Now, let your custard cool down, and now is a great time to grab a minimum of 5 bananas, go
02:02ahead and peel them, and then make like Bobby Roode and slice them into glorious round pieces.
02:17Now that your custard is cooled down, you want to grab your cake pan, and layer it with custard.
02:24Distribute it evenly across the bottom, it'll help keep your next layer in place.
02:38Here is where you start to layer in your vanilla wafers and banana slices.
02:42You can really do this however you like, but I like to really layer the flavors in together, so I
02:48alternate them inside of each layer.
02:50My suggestion would be to make sure that you have at least one full layer of each.
03:03Now, once you get your layers set, it's time to circle back around and get a little more custard in
03:08the mix.
03:09From here on out, you'll really just repeat the process until you run out of goods or are happy with
03:14where you're at.
03:15Then, of course, we're going to add some cinnamon and sugar for gluttony's sake.
03:19And here's where I really screwed up.
03:21I took the egg whites from earlier and slowly added sugar as I beat the living hell out of them
03:26with this beater.
03:28I beat them for probably a solid 30 minutes before I realized that it wasn't going to form the meringue
03:35like I was hoping.
03:36And it's at this point I realized my rookie mistake.
03:39I got a clean bowl.
03:41I moved over to my mixer.
03:43Decided to give it another go.
03:45I mixed three egg whites, one-fourth cup of sugar, a dash of vanilla.
03:51Then I turned this bad boy on.
03:53I realized I probably should plug it in.
03:56And then I let the mixer do all the hard work, beating this son of a beat at stiff peaks.
04:02You'll know the battle is finally won when it looks a lot like whipped cream.
04:06And then you'll spoon it out onto your pudding, making sure to seal in the entire top of your dessert.
04:12Once you get it sufficiently spread, you're going to go ahead and toss it into a preheated oven at 350
04:18degrees for about 15 minutes or until the meringue has a slight brown tint to it.
04:48Now I let it go about 20 minutes and we're going to let it cool for about an hour and
04:53a half.
04:55Now that we've dressed it up and it's looking like the ultimate banana snack, here's where I got my video
05:01claim because I didn't realize my son was bumping that hot new Travis Scott joint and had to do a
05:06voiceover.
05:06Because I'm 14 videos in and I'm still making amateur mistakes.
05:10But this pudding is literal fire.
05:13It is so GD good.
05:16As you can see, I struggled a little bit with the meringue today on the top and I maybe could
05:22have pulled back just a little bit on the oven, maybe left it in for about closer to 15 instead
05:28of closer to 20 minutes.
05:29But it tasted phenomenal.
05:31It really just sets off the meal.
05:33Nobody's going to complain.
05:34It is awesome.
05:36So if you're looking for a great dessert, something that tons of people are going to like, that is appropriate
05:41for pretty much any situation, this is the one for you.
