Magnolia Banana Pudding is a creamy, rich dessert made famous by Magnolia Bakery. Layers of vanilla pudding, bananas, and Nilla wafers make this a show-stopping treat!
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and ice-cold water. Add the instant pudding mix and whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
Whip the Cream:
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold the Cream into the Pudding:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture until no streaks remain.
Assemble the Layers:
In a 9x13-inch dish or trifle bowl, create a base layer of Nilla wafers. Top with a layer of sliced bananas, followed by a layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a pudding layer.
Garnish:
Decorate the top with extra Nilla wafers or banana slices, if desired.
Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve:
Scoop into bowls or plates and enjoy this creamy, indulgent dessert!
