Instructions
For the custard
- Mix the gelatin into the water in a bowl, and let the mixture sit aside to absorb the water.
- Take a pan and heat half a cup of sugar, salt, cream, and vanilla bean. Make sure you stir continuously.
- In another bowl, mix the leftover sugar, eggs, and egg yolks. Then, add the ⅓ of the cream mixture you prepared above. Whisk well.
- Combine this mixture with the leftover cream mixture. Add the gelatin to it, and stir well, ensuring that there are no lumps.
- Add the puree of ripe bananas and lemon juice.
- Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap. Place it in the fridge to cool for a minimum of three hours.
For assembly
- Before assembling the pudding, crumble the vanilla wafers, and then mix the banana slices with yogurt and lemon juice in another bowl and set them aside.
- Whip the moonshine, cream, and sugar using a mixer.
- Finally, take a parfait glass. Add a layer of custard, then vanilla wafers and sliced bananas. Repeat it two more times, and then top it with the prepared whipped cream.
- Let the pudding chill for four hours and serve.
Substitutions
- Heavy cream — Heavy cream is what makes the banana moonshine pudding thicker in consistency and creamy in taste. If you do not have heavy cream, try adding cream cheese, coconut cream, or Greek yogurt. Note that the taste and consistency of the pudding may vary.
- Vanilla wafers — Vanilla wafers give this pudding a crunchy taste but if you don't have vanilla wafers, you can easily add any crackers. For a different flavor, try adding chocolate chip cookies instead.
- Gelatin — Gelatin is used to give the custard a thick jelly-like consistency. If you don't have gelatin, you can use cornstarch to achieve a thick consistency. If you are looking for a vegetarian substitute, try using Agar Agar instead.
Variations
- Chocolatey taste — Try this chocolatey version of the banana pudding moonshine recipe by adding cocoa powder while making the custard. Also, sprinkle crumbled chocolate chip cookies for the perfect chocolatey taste.
- Spicy taste — For a unique but definitely tasty version of this banana moonshine pudding, add cinnamon or allspice.
