Ingredients
  

For the pudding

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, peeled
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Add the water and sugar to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and turns a deep golden color.
  • Pour the caramel into the bottom of a baking pan, tilting the pan to coat the base evenly, then set aside to cool.
  • Blend the bananas until smooth, then whisk the puree with the eggs and milk in a large bowl until fully combined.
  • Pour the banana mixture over the cooled caramel, cover the pan with foil, and place it into a larger baking dish filled with hot water.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 60 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the center.
