Just before serving, top generously with piped-on whipped cream and top with sliced almonds, if desired.
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 5 large ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 3 (3 ounce) packages ladyfingers
Directions
Step 1
Combine milk, eggs, and egg yolks in a medium saucepan over low heat. Beat well and heat until hot to the touch but not boiling, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Step 2
Combine sugar and salt in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Slowly add milk mixture, stirring frequently. Cook and stir, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until smooth and as thick as heavy cream, 8 to 10 minutes. Add butter, vanilla, and almond extract; stir until butter melts.
Step 3
Strain custard mixture through a sieve into a large bowl. Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface and place in the refrigerator until completely cooled, at least 2 hours.
Step 4
Slice bananas into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with orange juice.
Step 5
Arrange 1/2 of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a trifle bowl. Arrange 1/2 of the banana slices over the ladyfingers and pour 1/2 of the cooled custard over top. Repeat layers once more. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Cook’s Note:
You can substitute store-bought vanilla pudding but it won't be as good. You can substitute vanilla wafers or sponge cake for the ladyfingers.
