Banana Pudding is much like avocado in regards to the length of time that both are perfectly ripe and ready to eat. The optimal time to eat Banana Pudding is about 30 minutes in my opinion. A banana pudding needs to sit long enough that the vanilla wafers get soft, yet still have crunch and by no means are the wafers soggy. 😉

Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding Recipe is an easy, no-cook banana pudding recipe. It’s much like a no-cook cheesecake except the ‘crust’ is vanilla wafer cookies.

With the help of cream cheese and instant pudding, this pudding is wonderfully creamy and rich.

Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding Recipe

  1. Especially important, have your cream cheese at room temperature before you begin mixing the recipe together. It will blend much easier with the other ingredients and won’t have lumps if you’ll start with it at room temperature.
  2. I used full fat cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla wafers in my recipe. It is luscious and rich and tasted wonderful. However, this is one recipe that you can use low-fat cream cheese, fat-free (or low-fat) sweetened condensed milk, and/or reduced-fat vanilla wafers. You’ll save fat and calories. These changes don’t affect the flavor and texture.
  3. You can use homemade whipped cream in the recipe or take the shortcut version and use Cool Whip brand whipped cream. However, homemade is much better.
  4. If instant pudding isn’t available in your area, there really isn’t a substitution. In that case, you can make cooked vanilla pudding, allow it to cool, then continue with the recipe. See notes below for Cooked Vanilla Pudding recipe. It won’t be exactly like Joanna Gaines Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding Recipe but it will be close.
  5. For banana pudding, I like firm bananas that have no spots on the skins.
  6. Finally, all joking aside, I recommend eating this within a few hours of making it. I don’t prefer it the next day after the bananas become mushy.

    Didn’t you mean CONFECTIONERS SUGAR for the whipped cream?!

    This is not from Joanna Gaines. It is from Magnolia Bakery in NYC, which is unrelated. It is my favorite dessert and I get it and give it to people from there. It tastes just like my grandmother’s, except possibly better. (Sorry Mamaw). Otherwise, yum.

    This recipe looks great but I do want to note that “Magnolia Bakery” is a New York City standby (opened in 1996) famous for banana pudding and cupcakes. That’s probably the reason that the Waco bakery under the Magnolia brand is called “Silos Baking Company.”

      Hi Paula! Thanks for sharing the recipe! I look forward to trying others you have posted too, all look amazing!
      I see that others have already mentioned this in the comments of this recipes post and that this goes back to 2018, hopefully you are alerted of new comments regardless if the aging original post. I love Joanna Gaines and companies, but I feel it’s only right to remove their association from this post.
      How does that expression go? Give credit as credit is due… (something of that sort, but everyone know what mean)
      Check out the Magnolia Bakery of New York website, they will even ship a tub of the pudding if one is too busy to make it at home! h

    Thank you, Paula! For the clear, detailed, intelligent additional comments. Unlike the frustrating recipes too often proudly, ignorantly and uselessly offered, yours are encouraging. Many of us live in remote parts of the world, without recourse to pre-prepared or unusual ingredients.

      I try to remember that and give alternatives, sometimes I forget. That’s one of the surprising things I’ve learned from blogging is so many ingredients are widely available. Always message me if I forget something or you have a question.
