A nostalgic banana pudding recipe inspired by Magnolia Bakery, featuring layers of creamy vanilla, ripe bananas, and crunchy wafers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 396 g condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1.5 cups ice cold water
  • 96 g vanilla pudding (1 box, 3.4 oz)
  • 3 cups whipping cream (35% fat)
  • 4 cups sliced bananas (4 to 6 bananas)
  • 680 g vanilla wafers (2 boxes, 12 oz boxes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk and ice cold water, whisking until smooth. Gradually add the vanilla pudding mix, whisking vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and is well combined.
  2. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cream until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture using a spatula.
  4. Layering begins: In a large trifle dish or individual serving cups, start by placing a layer of vanilla wafers at the bottom, followed by a layer of pudding mixture.
  5. Add the bananas: Evenly distribute a layer of sliced bananas over the pudding.
  6. Repeat the layers: Continue layering with more wafers, pudding mixture, and banana slices until your dish is full, aiming for 2-3 layers.
  7. Chill the pudding: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors meld.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Once chilled, scoop out servings ensuring each bowl has layers of pudding, wafers, and bananas.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days; wafers may become softer over time. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free wafers.
