And, Magnolia Bakery Chocolate Eclair Banana Pudding was born!

This is a no-bake, easy dessert to make. It takes less than 10 minutes to put together. It does need refrigerator time before serving, so plan ahead.
As you can see, I made my recipe in a 9×9-inch dish. For individual servings, you can make it in pretty glasses or jelly jars.
It’s also a dessert that can be made with lower-fat or fat-free ingredients. If you want a lower-fat version, substitute the
a few tips
I layered graham crackers, pudding, and bananas. Next, I spread a nice layer of chocolate on top. This dessert is creamy and light-tasting. It’s similar in texture to cheesecake.
It must chill in the refrigerator 30 minutes to 2 hours before serving. In my opinion, the best time to serve this dessert is after it’s been made for 1 to 8 hours. I think it’s best when the crackers are still a little crisp. Because the bananas start getting mushy after a while, I prefer this dessert in the first 24 hours of being made.

Magnolia Bakery Chocolate Eclair Banana Pudding
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 ounce package vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2-3 medium bananas sliced
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- 16 ounces prepared chocolate frosting
- 14.4 ounce package graham crackers
Instructions
For the Pudding
- In the cleaned bowl, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
- Add the condensed milk, whole milk and vanilla pudding mix. Beat on high for 2 minutes.
- By hand, fold in half the whipped cream mixture.
Assemble
- In a 9×9 dish, mason jar, or individual glasses lay a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom.
- Spoon pudding on top, bananas, and then add another layer of graham crackers. Repeat layers (crackers, pudding, bananas) Top with one more layer of crackers on the very top.
- Microwave frosting 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. You want the frosting to pour and spread easily, but don’t want it hot.
- Pour as much or little of the chocolate frosting over the top layer of crackers. Spread evenly.
- Garnish with mini-chocolate chips and crushed graham crackers if desired.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour up to 24 hours.
I don’t see the “whipped cream mixture”. The recipe starts with, “In the cleaned bowl” Where are the instructions for the step before the cream cheese/sweetened condensed milk/pudding mix step?
I used Cool Whip and there was no other ingredients for the ‘whipped cream mixture’. The pudding is the only thing you have to mix together. Then it’s simply assembly.
So you’ll make the pudding mixture using the 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whole milk
3/4 ounce package vanilla instant pudding mix
The remaining ingredients don’t require anything except layers in the pan.
