This dessert is almost identical in taste, appearance, and texture to classic banana pudding, but lower in calories and fat. It eschews traditional ingredients like butter and heavy cream, using low-fat milk, just one egg, and a tiny bit of sugar. Reduced-fat sour cream gives the pudding its velvety, creamy texture and creamier flavor. Layered with banana slices and fluffy wafer cookies, the pudding quickly soaks in the luscious vanilla cream, so serve as soon as possible.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the milk until smooth. Heat over medium-high heat, whisking until bubbling. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg. While whisking vigorously, slowly pour 1/4 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg; whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking vigorously, until the pudding thickens and begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a bowl, stir in the sour cream and vanilla, and let it cool, whisking frequently, until thickened.

Thinly slice the bananas. Layer a few banana slices, a few cookie pieces, and 2 tablespoons of the prepared pudding into 4 prepared bowls; repeat the layers one more time, then top with the remaining pudding. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
