"Psuedotico" Banana Pudding

"Come Mister tally man, tally me bananas"...My little finca has banana trees popping up everywhere. I literally have a bunch of bananas. It is one less thing to buy at the grocery store. With two kids who love them, I AM WINNING! But there comes a time when you look over at your fruit bowl and the dark spots have overtaken the yellow skin. This is when the fruit flies invade, and "Psuedotico Banana Pudding" comes to the rescue! I hope you enjoy my attempt to add a touch of tico to my simple southern dish. 

P.S. With all of these bananas expect a "bunch" more recipes...Yah I know. LAME JOKE

List O' Stuff

12 oz box of Vanilla wafer cookies 

4-6 Bananas (preferably ripened)

Nestle La Lechera Dulce de Leche or Carmel

3/4 cups of Sugar

2 tablespoons of Corn Starch

3 cups of Milk

4 Egg yolks

1/2 stick of butter

1 tablespoon of Vanilla Bean Paste or Vanilla Extract

How To

• In a double boiler mix together the cornstarch and sugar, then slowly add in milk. No double boiler? You can do this on low-med heat, just stir constantly until thickened. 
• Beat the egg yolks slightly and temper with a little of the hot custard. Stir well.
• Add the eggs to the mixture and cook for about 2 minutes. 
• Remove from the heat. Add butter and vanilla. 
• Let cool. Congrats! You made pudding. 
• In a baking dish make alternating layers of cookies, pudding, and then bananas. 
• Top off with a drizzle of the Dulce de Leche. You may use as much or as little as you like
