Rum Banana Pudding Recipes

• Whisk together the first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook, whisking constantly, 6 to 8 minutes or until thickened (Note: pudding always takes me twice the time the recipe lists--usually 15 to 20 minutes.).
• Let pudding stand 5 minutes, then gently stir in bananas.
• Arrange 15 vanilla wafers in single layer on bottom of a 1 1/2 quart bakign dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecans on wavers. Pour half of pudding on top. Repeat layers, ending with pecans.

• Add remaining sugar one teaspoon at a time, beating until soft peaks form (1 to 2 min).
• Spread meringue evenly over top, sealing edges.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Combine whipping cream, eggs, vanilla extract and remaining 1/4 cup rum and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl and whisk to blend.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9X5X3-inch loaf pan. Arrange 1/3 of bread strips crosswise in bottom of prepared pan. Arrange 6 banana pieces atop bread. Sprinkle with half of raisins and half of pecans. Arrange 1/3 of bread strips crosswise atop bananas. Pour half of egg mixture over. Arrange remaining banana pieces atop bread. Sprinkle with remaining raisins and pecans. Arrange remaining bread strips crosswise atop bananas. Pour remaining egg mixture over. Press gently on top layer to compact. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Bake bread pudding until puffed and golden and knife inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool slightly.

• Mix bananas, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup banana liqueur, and 1/4 cup rum together in a bowl until smooth. Beat in cake mix and pudding mix, scraping sides down as needed, until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
• Bring sugar, butter, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a saucepan 15 minutes before the cake is done. Stir in 1/4 cup banana liqueur and 1/4 cup rum until glaze is well mixed. Pour glaze into a glass measuring cup.
