Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding

Print Recipe

A layered dessert featuring delicious bananas, whipped topping, and Nilla wafers. This easy recipe starts with pudding mix and uses sweetened condensed milk for a creamy, decadent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1.25 cups (297ml) ice cold water
  • 1 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups (704ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 12 ounce box Nilla Wafers
  • 4 cups sliced bananas (about 5–6 bananas)

Instructions

  1. Add sweetened condensed milk, water, and pudding mix to a medium sized bowl. Whisk or mix with a hand mixer until combined, about 2 minutes. Cover and chill 3-4 hours or overnight until the pudding sets properly.
  2. In a large bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. You can use a hand or a stand mixer.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture using a folding motion (not stirring) to avoid making it soupy.
  4. Assemble your pudding by placing 1/3 of the wafers in the bottom of a large wide bottomed bowl. Top with 1/3 of the bananas and 1/3 of the pudding mixture.
  5. Repeat the layers two more times and garnish with wafer crumbs on top.
  6. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

The key to preventing a soupy pudding is to fold the whipped cream gently rather than stir it. Plan ahead as this recipe requires several hours of chilling time. You can chill up to 8 hours but it is not recommended to chill longer than that.
