2. 2 Place bananas in the bottom of the pie crust and drizzle 5 ounces caramel syrup over top. Reserve remaining caramel syrup for garnish.
3. 3 Remove whisk and mixing bowl from the freezer. Place whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla in the chilled bowl. Mix rapidly with the whisk until peaks form leaving a stiff whipped cream; do not overmix.
4. 4 Spread whipped topping over the bananas and pie crust. Drizzle remaining caramel over top in a circular or zigzag motion for effect. Place in the refrigerator or freezer until whipped topping has firmed up, 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ confectioners' sugar
• whole wheat berry
• salt
• walnut
• almond
• heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1 Make the pudding: Place wheat berries in a 3-quart saucepan; add boiling water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a rolling boil. Let boil for 15 seconds, then drain and discard the water. Repeat five times: add boiling water, bring to a boil, boil for 15 seconds, drain.
2. 2 Cover wheat berries again by 2 inches with boiling water. Stir in salt and bring to a boil. Boil for 15 seconds, then remove from the heat without draining. Place the pan on a folded blanket, cover, and wrap with towels or blankets. Let sit at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
3. 3 The next day, drain any water that hasn't been absorbed. Grind wheat berries thoroughly in a food processor. (If you use a blender, work in very small batches.) Transfer ground wheat to a bowl and clean the food processor.
4. 4 Grind walnuts in the food processor until fine. Add confectioners' sugar and process until mixture resembles fine meal. Add ground wheat and pulse until well combined.
5. 5 Spoon pudding into a glass trifle bowl or serving dish. Stick slivered almonds into pudding to resemble a porcupine.
6. 6 Make the topping: Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
7. 7 Serve pudding in 2-tablespoon portions in small decorative bowls or custard cups. Top each serving with whipped cream.
