A delicious pudding made of caramelized bananas with a touch of whiskey and topped generously with a salted chocolate ganache. Perfectly toasty!
It is the first day of December and I have started with my festive baking! I kicked off my baking spree for the month with this decadent salted chocolate banana pudding. This festive pudding is made extra special since I’ve made it with caramelised bananas. The aptly charred slices of bananas elevates flavours of the pudding even more. These are then combined with flour, eggs and milk and then baked, until just set. And when cooled, I have slathered the pudding with a thick, salted chocolate ganache and topped it with some frozen berries. The contrasting flavours of the dark chocolate and the sweet, caramelised banana pudding is a wonderful combination. Oh, and did I mention, to make the pudding extra toasty, I have also added whiskey to it. Didn’t I tell you, that this one was perfectly festive?
You could enjoy this pudding at room temperature or even chilled, I love scooping through it slightly warm. A 30 seconds run in the microwave makes the banana pudding gooey, keeping the ganache intact. Not only does this taste wonderful, but it also gives an amazing mouthfeel. You’ve got to try this one yourself to know how brilliant this tastes. Moreover, you are not going to need too many ingredients to whip up your salted chocolate banana pudding. Furthermore, this is also an under 30 minute recipe. I know, this one just keeps getting better and better! In fact, I made this one evening last week, for a friend, with everything I had at hand. This banana pudding is one of the easiest desserts you could put together and impress your loved ones. Since it is warm, toasty and delicious, it is perfectly festive too.

Serving suggestions
You could bake the pudding in an 18 centimetre pie dish or even in individual ramekins. Also, if you want to keep this dessert alcohol free, you may leave the whiskey out.
