Magnolia Bakery’s Ultra-Creamy Banana Pudding is a beloved layered dessert featuring smooth vanilla pudding blended with whipped cream, fresh banana slices, and crunchy mini vanilla wafers. This no-bake treat is refrigerated to meld flavors and create a luscious, creamy texture perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 8 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Banana Pudding Mixture

  • 14 ounce (397g) canned sweetened condensed milk
  • 1½ cups (355ml) ice cold water
  • ⅔ cup instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups (710ml) heavy whipping cream

Assembly

  • 1 box mini vanilla wafers
  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced

Instructions

  1. Make the vanilla pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the canned sweetened condensed milk, ice cold water, and instant vanilla pudding mix until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the pudding to fully set and thicken.
  2. Whip the heavy cream: Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Soft peaks mean the cream holds its shape but still slightly droops when the beaters are lifted. Gently fold this whipped cream into the chilled vanilla pudding, mixing just enough to combine while maintaining the airy texture.
  3. Assemble the banana pudding: In a large serving dish or individual jars, begin layering the dessert components. Start with a layer of mini vanilla wafers, followed by a layer of the vanilla pudding mixture, and then a layer of sliced ripe bananas. Repeat these layers until the container is filled or you run out of ingredients, finishing with a pudding or wafer layer as preferred. Cover the assembled pudding tightly with plastic wrap to prevent odors and drying out.
  4. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled banana pudding for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften slightly for an ideal creamy texture. Be mindful not to exceed 8 hours to avoid the bananas browning excessively.

Notes

  • For best flavor and texture, use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushiness.
  • Use cold water and refrigerated heavy cream for optimal pudding setting and whipping results.
  • To prevent banana slices from browning, assemble closer to serving time.
  • This dessert is best consumed within 24 hours of assembly for freshness.
  • Can be made in individual jars for convenient portion control and presentation.
