Banana Pudding

In a saucepan heat bananas, cream and milk over medium heat, stirring constantly. After a few minutes, use a potato masher to smash the bananas. Bring mixture almost to a boil and keep it there.

In a separate bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Pour it slowly into the hot cream mixture, stirring constantly. Continue stirring and cooking until it reaches a boil.

Beat the eggs in a heatproof bowl. Add a few spoonfuls of the hot liquid into the eggs, and mix. Quickly add eggs back into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and boil for 1-2 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and add vanilla and butter. Mix to combine.

Pour pudding into a bowl, or into individual ramekins, and cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic coats the surface of the pudding to keep it from forming a skin.

Chill completely before serving.
