Paleofied Banana Pudding

Ingredients

Serves 6

2 cups / 500 ml Half and half

1 cup / 250 ml milk (your choice of milk)

¾ cup / 3.2 oz / 90 gr raw coconut palm sugar, divided

¼ teaspoon fine grain sea salt

4 egg yolks

3 tablespoons arrowroot powder*

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

(Paleo) Nilla Wafers (get the recipe here)

3 bananas, sliced

*arrowroot powder acts like cornstarch.

Directions

In a bowl whisk egg yolks and ¼ cup sugar. Stir in arrowroot powder until completely dissolved. Set aside.

Place half and half, milk, remaining ½ cup sugar into a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.

When it comes to a simmer, scoop out about 1 cup of the mixture and add to egg yolks whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

Pour egg mixture into the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 2 to 3 minutes, until thickened.

Remove from the heat and add vanilla extract. Let cool completely.

To assemble banana pudding layer a 2-quart casserole (or single ramekins, jars or cups) with pudding, Nilla wafers and banana slices.

Repeat until all pudding is used.
