Peanut Butter Banana Pudding

Instructions

1. To start, make the custard by whisking together the sugar, cornstarch, milk, and egg yolks in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer stirring very frequently to prevent scorching.  Simmer for about 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and peanut butter.  Mix well.  Allow the custard to cool completely before proceeding.
2. In a trifle bowl or large deep bowl, assemble the dish by layering the cookies, then bananas, and then custard.  You should get about 4 layers of each.  Top with the whipped topping and serve immediately for crunchy cookies or allow the cookies to soften by storing the dish covered in the refrigerator for about 4 hours or overnight.
