Banana Pudding

Yield: Makes 10 servings (serving size: 1 serving)

Ingredients

• 1/3  cup  all-purpose flour
• Dash of salt
• 2 1/2  cups  1% low-fat milk
• 1  (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
• 2  egg yolks
• 2  teaspoons  vanilla extract
• 3  cups  sliced ripe banana
• 45  reduced-fat vanilla wafers
• 4  egg whites
• 1/4  cup  sugar

Preparation

Combine flour and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually stir in milks and yolks, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 8 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.

Arrange 1 cup banana slices in bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Spoon one-third pudding mixture over bananas; top with 15 vanilla wafers. Repeat layers twice, ending with pudding; arrange remaining 15 wafers around inside edge of dish. Gently push wafers into pudding.

Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar dissolves (2 to 4 minutes). Spread meringue over pudding, sealing to edge of dish.

Bake at 325° for 25 minutes or until golden. Let cool at least 30 minutes.
