The ability to bake cakes on top of the stove, on low heat, demonstrates Health Craft waterless, greaseless cookware’s quality and capacity to evenly conduct heat. Although this is a relatively short list with only a few recipes, once you have baked on top of the stove, it will be very difficult to find a good reason to turn your oven on again. For those who prefer oven baking, we would like to introduce you to our new 6 PC stainless steel Bakeware set. See more dessert recipes at Stove Top Baking. ____________________ |

Melissa’s Banana Pudding
Equipment: 3-quart saucepan, 2-quart casserole dish
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 eggs (separated)
2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 box Nilla wafers
5 ripe bananas
In the casserole dish, using 4 bananas, layer bananas then wafers.
Separate eggs, place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and put in the refrigerator while preparing the pudding.
In a cold 3-quart saucepan, add sugar, 1 sliced banana & egg yolks, mix well. Turn heat to medium-low, slowly add milk and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Add flour and whisk to remove any lumps. Stir constantly on medium-low heat until it’s thick and smooth but still pourable. Add vanilla and mix well.
Pour pudding over wafers and bananas.
To make a Meringue Topping:
Beat the egg whites in a mixer on high until stiff. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and beat again. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, beat again. Spread on top of pudding.
Place in the oven @ 350° until lightly brown on top, about 10 minutes.
Note: if you don’t prefer Meringue you can skip this step. Do not put pudding in the oven, instead place in the refrigerator, chill and serve with whipped topping.
