Answer 1

Banana Pudding
Recipe created Art Smith
From the show Labor Day Cooking with Art Smith

You simply cannot find a family-style restaurant in the South that doesn't serve banana pudding. For good reason—it is everything a dessert should be, plus it has the advantage of being easy.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups milk
2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Pinch of salt
6 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up
12 ounces vanilla wafers
5 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar

Bring the milk and vanilla beans to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat. Using tongs, remove the beans from the milk. Using the tip of a small sharp knife, scrape the tiny seeds from each bean back into the milk.

Whisk the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Add the egg yolks and whisk well. Gradually whisk in about half of the hot milk, then pour the yolk mixture into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding comes to a full boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until melted. Transfer to a medium bowl. Cover the pudding with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and pierce a few holes in the wrap with the tip of a knife. Let stand until tepid, about 30 minutes.

Spoon about 1 cup of the pudding into a 2- to 2 1/2-quart glass bowl. Layer the cookies, bananas and pudding in the bowl, ending with the pudding. Cover tightly and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Whip the cream and confectioners' sugar in a chilled medium bowl until stiff. Spread the whipped cream over the pudding. Serve chilled, spooned into bowls.

here's the easy way

buy you some instant vanilla pudding(I use 2 boxes)
a box or package of nilla wafers or generic brand works just as
well
some bananas 3 or 4 large ripe bananas or more if you really like them.

Mix the pudding as directed on box set aside, in a large bowl or other container, layer some of the cookies but not over lapping, cut up a banana or two in coins over the cookies, spread some of the prepared pudding on top of that being sure to cover all the cookies repeat layers with what you have left. I like to save a few cookies and banana slices for the top. Set in the fridge and let chill for an hour or so.
