Ingredients

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Slice the bananas into thin rounds and set aside.
3. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Add the banana slices to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until caramelized. Remove from heat and stir in dark rum. Be cautious as the rum may ignite, so keep a lid nearby to cover the skillet to put out any flames if necessary.
5. In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
8. Assemble the pudding by layering the caramelized bananas and pudding in individual serving glasses or a baking dish.
9. Top with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped pecans for garnish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the pudding is set.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool before serving. Enjoy!
