Prepare the Custard

Add sugar, corn flour, egg yolks, vanilla essence and milk to a saucepan. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and free from lumps. Place the saucepan over low heat. Cook while stirring continuously to prevent the custard from sticking to the bottom. Continue until it becomes thick and creamy. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool completely

Swiss roll pieces folded into homemade banana pudding mixture

Place the cooled custard in a large bowl. Add about 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and gently fold it into the custard. Add the remaining whipped cream. Fold gently rather than stirring vigorously so that the mixture retains as much air and volume as possible.The pudding mixture should become light and mousse-like.

Add Bananas & Garnish
