Pudding Torte Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange 12 ladyfingers in an 11x7-in. dish. Spread with half of the Nutella., In a large bowl, whisk cream and pudding mix 2 minutes. Stir in whipped topping. Spread half the mixture over the Nutella. Top with remaining ladyfingers; spread with remaining Nutella and then remaining pudding mixture. Sprinkle with grated or shaved chocolate. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar, lemon zest and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water; pulse until the dough begins to come together. Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Lightly coat a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray. Roll out the dough into a 10-inch round on a lightly floured surface. (If it gets too soft, return to the refrigerator until firm.) Ease the dough into the prepared pan and press into the bottom and up the sides, trimming any excess. Pierce the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put the tart pan on a baking sheet. Line the crust with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven; bake until the crust edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and continue baking until the crust is golden all over, 15 to 20 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. (The tart shell can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch and salt in a bowl until combined. Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat (do not boil). Gradually whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture, then pour back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and cook, whisking, until thick like pudding, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the butter and vanilla. Pour the filling through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Let cool to room temperature, stirring frequently, about 30 minutes.
• Beat the heavy cream with a mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream and poppy seeds into the cooled filling. Spoon into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• For the crust: Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Combine all the crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse together until the crumbs are moistened (or mix in a medium bowl with a rubber spatula); press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan. Use a measuring cup or flat-bottom glass to really pack the crumbs in place. Set aside while you mix the filling.
• For the filling: Whip the cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment at medium speed until medium peaks form, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and refrigerate.
• In the same mixer bowl, beat the mascarpone until smooth. Add the brown sugar, salt, and vanilla and whip till smooth. Beat in the condensed milk. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three batches. Stop when just a few streaks of whipped cream remain.
• Spread one-third of the pudding into the crust. Top with half each of the sliced bananas and wafers, creating a uniform layer and pressing lightly into the pudding. Add another one-third of the pudding. Top with the remaining sliced bananas and wafers and 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips. Top with the remaining pudding and smooth to the edges. Create a decorative swirl on top of the pudding, if desired-just make sure the bananas are covered to prevent them from turning brown. Cover with an inverted plate and refrigerate overnight.
• To serve, unmold the tart from the springform and place on a serving tray. Top with the remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips and the banana chips. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days.

Bake until light golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack., In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth; fold in 1 carton whipped topping. Spread over crust. In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Gently spread over cream cheese layer. Top with remaining whipped topping.
