This Banana Pudding really is amazing!! This is not my usual recipe but this may be my go to from now on! I ran across this recipe and it is supposed to be from the Magnolia Bakery in New York City that ships this deliciousness everywhere! So, with that said this is “supposedly” a close to their recipe and it is so good!

If you find yourself in New York City here is the link for their store www.magnoliabakery.com. And, of course, a photo of this deliciousness!

I’m going to tell you from the beginning that although this recipe is beyond simple, I do start the day before because you want the pudding portion to be thick and chilled before you go to the next step which is folding in heavy whipped cream. Yes, I said that, heavy whipped cream. If I haven’t gotten your attention yet, read on.

This recipe for the banana pudding combines a box of vanilla instant pudding with a can of sweetened condensed milk. Yes. That in itself speaks deliciousness. I always use Eagle Brand but there are other brands available. https://amzn.to/37SYB6T this is a 4 pack.

And, of course vanilla wafers. I know there’s other brands of vanilla wafers, but I’m a diehard fan of Nabisco Vanilla Wafers. Can’t help it, I always get the Nabisco brand. https://amzn.to/2Zaq3t9.

What you may need to make this banana pudding.

Before I post the recipe, here are some of my favorite things used in this recipe. I love these pyrex wet measuring cups. https://amzn.to/2ClKxHk.

If you don’t already use a roll of commercial clear wrap you have to if you have room for it! It is so easy to use, just put the bowl you want to wrap or ingredient in front, cover then the easy blade cuts it without any twisting or untangling saran wrap. I have used this foodservice for years: https://amzn.to/37NCj6F

Cuisine American
Servings 15 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups ice cold water
  • 1 3.4 oz box vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 4 cups sliced, barely ripe bananas
  • 1 15 oz box Nilla Wafers

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and water until well combined – about 1 minute. Add the pudding mix and beat well – about 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight. It is very important to allow the proper amount of time for the pudding mixture to set. It will be watery if you don't let it set up long enough.
  • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until no streaks of pudding remain.
  • Dessert can either be made in individual portions or in a large glass bowl with 4-5 quart capacity (a 9×13 baking dish also works).
  • To assemble dessert, arrange 1/3 of the Nilla wafers covering the bottom, overlapping if necessary. Next, layer 1/3 of the bananas, and 1/3 of the pudding mixture. Repeat twice more, garnishing with additional wafers or wafer crumbs on the top layer. Cover tightly and allow to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours – or up to 8 hours, no longer (because bananas will start to brown.
