Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Bananas Foster Layer

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until it forms a caramel-like sauce.

Add the banana slices and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring gently.

Stir in the vanilla extract and rum (if using), then remove from heat.
Step 2: Make the Pudding Mixture

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and nutmeg until smooth.
-
In a separate pot, heat the milk and heavy cream over low heat until warm (not boiling).
-
Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture, a little at a time, to temper the eggs.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Assemble and Cook
-
Grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray.
-
Pour the Bananas Foster mixture into the slow cooker.
-
Slowly add the pudding mixture over the bananas, ensuring an even layer.
