Ingredients

Pudding

  • 1-15 oz. can full-fat coconut milk
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Crust

  • 7 graham crackers
  • 4 tbsp vegan butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Caramelized Bananas

  • 3 medium bananas, sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

(Optional) Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed graham crackers

Instructions

Pudding

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together ½ of the coconut milk with cornstarch, set aside. Add the remaining coconut milk and sugar to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat then whisk in coconut milk/cornstarch mixture. Bring to a low boil, whisking frequently for 8-10 minutes until thickened.

  2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Transfer to a large heat-proof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until set (about 2 hours or overnight).

Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add all crust ingredients to a small food processor and pulse until it comes together. You'll be able to press the crust between your fingers. Press ~3 tbsp of the mixture into the bottom of a small ramekin, making sure it's evened out. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven to let cool for 5 minutes before transferring ramekins to a wire cooling rack.

Caramelized Bananas

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced banana in a single layer and sprinkle over brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Flip, and cook the other side for ~1 minute. Transfer bananas to a plate, arranging them in a single layer to prevent sticking.

Assembly

  1. Once pudding has set, pour into ramekin. Top with 4-5 slices of caramelized banana. Garnish with whipped cream and crushed graham crackers. Enjoy!
