Source: Reprinted from Nabisco Nilla Wafers box;

Ready in: 60 mins.

Layers of Nilla wafers, creamy pudding and fresh banana slices are the stars of this American classic.

• ¾ cup sugar, divided
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• Dash salt
• 3 eggs, separated
• 2 cups milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 45 NILLA Wafers, divided
• 5 ripe bananas, sliced (about 3 1/2 cups), divided
• Additional NILLA Wafers and banana slices, for garnish

1. Mix ½ cup sugar, flour and salt in top of double boiler. Blend in 3 egg yolks and milk. Cook, uncovered, over boiling water, stirring constantly for 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
2. Reserve 10 wafers for garnish. Spread small amount of custard on bottom of 1½-quart casserole; cover with a layer of wafers and a layer of sliced bananas. Pour about 1/3 of custard over bananas. Continue to layer wafers, bananas and custard to make a total of 3 layers of each, ending with custard.
3. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add remaining ¼ cup sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Spoon on top of pudding, spreading evenly to cover entire surface and sealing well to edges.
4. Bake at 350°F in top half of oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until browned. Cool slightly or refrigerate. Garnish with additional wafers and banana slices just before serving.
