Nutter Butter Banana Pudding Triffle

I found this delicions recipe in the February 09 issue of Southern Living. They bait you by putting it right on the cover so that all you can think about is banana pudding! I want to make it for a baby shower so I tested it out on our supper club friends last night. I think it was a hit!






3 cups milk
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. vanilla extract
5 medium-size ripe bananas
1 (1-lb.) package Nutter Butters
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
Garnishes: peanut butter cookies, dried banana chips, fresh mint sprigs

1. Whisk together first 4 ingredients in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, 15 to 20 mins or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted.


2. Fill a large bowl with ice. Please saucepan in ice, and let stand, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly chilled.



3. Meanwhile, cut bananas into 1/4-inch slices. Break cookies into thirds.



4. Spoon half of pudding mixture into a 3-qt. bowl or pitcher. Top with bananas and cookies. Spoon remaining pudding mixture over bananas and cookies.


Top with sweetened whipped cream. Cover and chill 2 to 24 hours. Garnish, if desired.
