Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding
Description
This recipe creates the classic Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding by blending sweetened condensed milk with ice-cold water and instant vanilla pudding mix, then chilling it until set. Folding whipped heavy cream with vanilla extract into the pudding mixture adds lightness and a fluffy texture. The dessert is assembled in layers, alternating pudding, nilla wafers, and sliced bananas, repeated twice, and finished with pudding on top. The layers provide a contrast between the creamy pudding, tender bananas, and slightly crisp wafers softening as they absorb moisture.
The flavor is sweet and mild with vanilla prominently featuring. The pudding's lightness combined with soft bananas and the wafers' texture makes it a satisfying dessert for warm weather or special occasions. Chilling the pudding for several hours enhances its thickening and flavor melding.
This dessert is best served chilled and can be garnished with extra wafers and sliced bananas for presentation. It's ideal as a make-ahead dessert and works well for sharing in a trifle bowl for easy serving.
Ingredients
- 1 oz sweetened condensed milk can
- 1 1/2 cups water ice cold
- 2 .4oz vanilla instant pudding make sure it's instant and not cook and serve
- 3 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 oz nilla wafers set some aside to garnish if desired, box
- 5 banana set some aside to garnish if desired, barely ripe
Instructions
- Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and the ice-cold water. Using a hand held electric mixer, gradually pour and blend in one box of the dry pudding mix with sweetened condensed milk and the ice-cold water mixture until it is smooth. Cover the pudding mixture and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours. (it may be left overnight)
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will take around 3 minutes because it’s such a large amount of heavy cream. The cream will begin to thicken and get frothy, just keep beating on a high speed until set up and stiff. Blend in the vanilla extract.
- Next, fold pudding into the whipped cream. Once everything is combined, add 5 tablespoons of dry vanilla pudding (from the second package)and beat until you get a fluffier consistency.
- Assemble the dessert in a clear glass trifle bowl. Layer ⅓ of the pudding, ⅓ of nilla the wafers, and ⅓of the bananas. Repeat this again, then finish with a heaping layer of pudding. Make sure all of the bananas are completely covered or they may turn brown more quickly.
- After assembling, chill for at least 4 hours to allow the vanilla wafers to soften up. Garnish with nilla wafers crumbs and sliced bananas as you are serving.
