After I shared Joanna Gaines Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding Recipe, I remembered another recipe that had a similar pudding mixture. As well, I had just saw a photo of Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Bakery Chocolate Eclair Banana Pudding in Instagram and decided to replicate that recipe as well.

And, Joanna Gaines’ 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 this dessert together. It does need refrigerator time before serving so plan ahead when before making it.

As you can see, I made my recipe in a 9×9 inch dish. You can make it in pretty glasses or jelly jars for individual servings.

It’s also a dessert that you can use lower fat or fat-free ingredients in.  Substitute the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream for lower fat version if you want.

Graham crackers are layered with pudding and bananas, and a nice layer of chocolate tops it all. Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Bakery Chocolate Eclair Banana Pudding is creamy and light tasting. It’s much like a cheesecake.

It needs to chill in the refrigerator 30 minutes to 2 hours before serving. The premium best time to serve this dessert is from 1 to 8 hours in my opinion. I personally 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.
