Ingredients
200 g vanilla wafer crumbs
3 bananas, sliced (1/4 inch thick)
300 g white sugar
60 g all-purpose flour
500 ml milk
3 egg yolks
10 g butter
10 ml vanilla extract
3 egg whites
60 g white sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Step 2
Layer the bottom and sides of a 23-cm pie plate with alternating vanilla wafer crumbs and banana slices.
Step 3
To make the pudding, combine 150 g of sugar and flour in a medium saucepan. Mix well, then stir in half of the milk. Beat the egg yolks and whisk them into the sugar mixture. Add the remaining milk and butter, then place the mixture over low heat. Cook until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour half of the pudding over the vanilla wafer and banana layer while still hot.
Step 4
Create another layer of alternating vanilla wafers and banana slices on top of the pudding layer. Pour the remaining pudding over the second wafer and banana layer.
Step 5
To make the meringue, beat the egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add 60 g of sugar, continuing to beat until the whites are stiff. Spread the meringue into the pie pan, making sure to completely cover the pudding layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, just until the meringue is browned. Chill before serving.
