Recipe View In a large saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar and flour until no lumps remain. Whisk in the egg and egg yolks until combined. Gradually whisk in the milk while warming over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. (10-12 minutes) Remove from the heat and let cool for 1 minute. Pour the hot pudding evenly over the layers of banana and cookie in the casserole dish. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate, clean, and dry bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the granulated sugar while continuing to whip until stiff, glossy peaks form. (5 minutes) Use a rubber spatula to gently spread the meringue evenly over the top of the casserole. Ensure the meringue touches the edges of the dish to help prevent shrinking.

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the meringue is golden brown, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Serve warm or at room temperature. (5-10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the pudding.
Ensure your egg whites are at room temperature for optimal volume when whipping the meringue.
If you prefer a less sweet meringue, you can slightly reduce the amount of granulated sugar.
For a richer pudding, use whole milk or a combination of milk and cream.
The meringue can also be browned using a kitchen torch for a quicker, more controlled result.

    I was a little nervous about the meringue, but it turned out beautifully. The trick is to use a clean bowl!
