Stovetop vanilla pudding layered with vanilla wafers and sliced banana in a small bowl. Chill, then top with whipped cream.

Ingredients

½ cup whole milk
2 Tbsp sugar
⅛ tsp salt
¼ cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp cornstarch
½ Tbsp salted butter
¼ tsp vanilla
6–8 vanilla wafers
1 banana
Whipped cream optional topping

Directions

Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a 1-quart pot over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until steaming.
In a bowl, stir the cornstarch into the heavy cream until it dissolves completely. Slowly whisk it into the hot milk.
Lower the heat and stir for about 5 minutes, until the pudding coats a spoon.
Take the pot off the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Press plastic wrap right onto the surface and let the pudding cool to room temperature.
Line a small dessert bowl with the wafers. Add the sliced banana, then spoon the cooled pudding on top to cover the fruit.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Top with whipped cream if you like.
