Strawberry Banana Pudding
Who doesn’t love banana pudding? There is only one thing that could make it better – strawberries. This was a request from one of my hubby’s friends. It was amazing, and I wish I could take credit for the idea. It was so good.

1. For pudding, whisk cornstarch and sugar together in a saucepan. Add milk and whisk to combine. Add egg yolks and salt. Whisk well. Turn heat to medium and bring to a boil while continually whisking. Cook for 2 3 minutes after mixture starts to boil and remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract.
2. Let cool for 15 20 minutes.
3. Layer casserole dish with vanilla wafers, sliced bananas and sliced strawberries. Pour over half of pudding. Repeat layers. Pour the other half of pudding over everything.
