Just awesome!
Since reading books about Louisiana I've got hooked on the stories about the comfort food. One of these foods is Banana Pudding.
Usually made with thin wafers. But they are not available here. I checked a lot of different recipes and found soft thin cookies. They are made from the same dough as ladyfingers. They worked very well in that recipe.
I wanted to take some to friend on the same day and made a small bowl for her. The larger amount went into a loaf pan. I baked the merengue under the grill in the oven. It is important to prepare this dessert in a heat proof container.
We have Dr. Oetker here in Germany. They produce very good quality pudding powder. No hassle to work with eggs and starch. Just cook it as told on the package. It gets evev better, when you stir in the leftover egg yolks in after the pudding is cooked.
Beat the egg white to soft peaks and add cream of tartar and salt to the sugar and slowly let it run into the beating egg white. It will take a couple of min to get glossy and stiff.
Heat up the grill in your oven. Layer cookies first, then banana slices, hot pudding and finish with merengue. Stick under the grill for 3 min or use a torch.
Serve it while it is still warm or at room temperature.
