Notes
Be sure to continuously stir the flour and milk mixture. It will thicken and become firm.
Once you add in the egg yolks and vanilla, it will thin to become a pudding.
Quickly stir in the egg yolks so they don’t sit on hot filling.
It’s ok to pour the warm filling over the bananas. Just allow the filling to cool before topping with the cool whip, otherwise it will melt.
