For the Whipped Cream 2 cups heavy whipping cream 6 tablespoons powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions 1. In a medium-size heavy saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch. In a large bowl, whisk milk and egg yolks. Begin to slowly whisk milk and egg mixture into the saucepan with the dry ingredients. Bring mixture almost to a boil (medium heat) and whisk continuously until thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. 2. Add butter, one tablespoon at a time, allowing each one to melt completely before adding the next, while continually stirring. Add the extract and salt until combined. 3. In a stand mixer or electric mixer, whip cream at a high speed until it's foamy and has increased in volume. Add vanilla and then slowly add sugar until soft peaks form. 4. Now for the assembly! I use all sizes of mason jars for those of small or big ap- petite. Place a layer of vanilla wagers in the bottom of the jar. Add sliced bananas fol- lowed by a layer of pudding, then a layer of whipped cream. Depending on the size of the jar, continue layering. If you are eating them straight away, add a tall layer of whipped cream and top with whole or crumbled wafers. If you are saving for later, or are traveling with them in a cooler, leave off the whipped cream and leave 1/8 inch of head space at the top of the jar and place lids on them. Once ready to serve, remove the lids and top with whipped cream and wafers! n Stacy Lyn Harris is a best-selling cookbook author, blogger, TV personality, public speaker, wife, and mother of seven chil- dren.
