Banana Pudding Lightened Up

Banana Pudding

This is an incredible recipe for Banana Pudding. It is lower in fat since you use the 1% milk and fat free sweetened condensed milk, but it is definitely full in flavor!  I am not sure where it originally came from but I got it from my mother. 

Banana Pudding
1/3 c all purpose flour
dash of salt
2 1/2 c 1% low fat milk
1 14 oz.can fat free sweetened condensed milk
2 egg yolks
2 t. vanilla extract
3 cups sliced ripe banana
1 box mini Nilla wafers(won't use the whole box)
4 egg whites
1/4 c sugar

Mix flour and salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually stir in milks, yolks, and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened. About 7-10 minutes.

Arrange 1 cup of banana slices in a 2 quart baking dish. Spoon 1/3 of pudding mixture over the bananas, top with a layer of wafers. Repeat layers once; top with remaining bananas and pudding. Arrange wafers around the inside edge of the dish and gently push into pudding. Beat the egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Add sugar 1 T at a time and beat until stiff peaks form and sugar dissolves(about 2-4 minutes). Spread the meringue over the pudding pushing it to the edges of the dish. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes until golden. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
