Homemade Banana Pudding

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, cornstarch, and salt over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.

Temper the Egg Yolks:

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Once the yolks are warmed, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.

Thicken the Pudding:

Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens to a custard-like consistency, about 2-3 more minutes.
