Okay, last southern-style dessert recipe from Sara’s shower, I promise! If you haven’t realized it by now, I definitely went a little too over the top with the amount of desserts I made for the party (photo cookie favors, flower cupcakes, and now this pudding!). I wanted to do key lime pie shooters or something too, but then I realized there are only 24 hours in a day and people only need so much sugar at one event. I could not give up my desire to serve banana pudding though – I’ve been dying to make this recipe for forever! I know it’s not quite the prettiest treat I’ve shared here, pudding never is, but I am so newly obsessed with banana pudding that I had to feature it here on the blog so you don’t go any longer without this goodness in your life.
I followed the Magnolia Bakery recipe for banana pudding that I’m sure you’ve seen floating around the blogosphere before. I waxed poetically about my love for their banana pudding when I featured the bakery in my NYC bakery tour last year, and I’m not quite sure why I waited so long to try making it at home. I surprisingly loved the pudding much more than any of their cupcakes, and turns out it’s so incredibly easy to make yourself. Thanks mostly to the fact that the pudding base is just boxed vanilla Jell-O pudding, with fresh bananas and plenty of whipped cream and other goodness mixed in. The final product has such a great fluffy texture to it, and the banana flavor is all from fresh bananas, none of that artificial banana taste that I find really unappetizing. Chopped vanilla wafers are added in which add a little crunch and sweetness that cannot be skipped.
Banana pudding is a great party dessert because you can make a huge batch ahead of time (I doubled the recipe below) and either serve it in a beautiful big trifle dish or individual dishes. Amazon sells really cute plastic dessert cups that will make you look like a total professional at your next party. Banana pudding might not sound like the trendiest of desserts, but it’s definitely one of the tastiest. Dress up your dessert cups with a banana slice and some wafer crumbs and you’ll be shocked with how quickly they go!
Banana Pudding
Recipe from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook
Ingredients:
16 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1-1/2 cups cold water
1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups heavy whipping cream
1 Box vanilla wafers
4 sliced medium bananas + 1 for garnish
Directions:
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sweetened condensed milk and water together. Add the pudding mix and continue beating for about 2 minutes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Whip the heavy cream in an electric mixer fit with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pudding mixture until it is evenly incorporated.
Whether you're serving the pudding in a large bowl, trifle dish, or individual cups, you'll want 2-3 layers of wafers, bananas, and pudding in each. Garnish tops with extra banana slices and vanilla wafer pieces and crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate again for 8 hours before serving. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pudding mixture until fully combined and no streaks of pudding are visible.
That does look like the perfect banana pudding! Sometimes the classics are the best :)
Hi,
It’s very good recipe.Thanks for sharing.
This recipe is easy to follow and delicious! I had enough pudding to make 6 individual cups as well as a layered casserole dish — and every bite was eaten and enjoyed! The pudding was fluffy with a fresh but not overpowering banana flavour. The vanilla wafers softened after being layered and refrigerated but provided a lovely texture and sweetness – reminiscent of ladyfingers in a tiramisu. Adding some freshly chopped wafers on top right before serving gave it the perfect satisfying crunch. I will definitely be making this again! Thank you :)

1. Reusable Components: One of the main advantages of React is the ability to create reusable UI components. These components can be used in multiple parts of the application, which makes it easier to maintain and update the codebase. This means that developers can spend less time writing code and more time focusing on other aspects of the application.
2. Virtual DOM: React uses a virtual DOM, which is a lightweight in-memory representation of the actual DOM. This allows for faster updates and rendering of the UI, as React only needs to update the parts of the UI that have changed. This improves the performance of the application and makes it more responsive for the users.
3. Performance: React is known for its high performance, thanks to its use of a virtual DOM and the ability to update only the necessary parts of the UI. This makes it a great choice for building large and complex applications, as well as for building applications that need to handle a large amount of data.
### Key Advantages of React
**1. Reusable Components:**
One of React’s primary strengths is its ability to create reusable UI components. These components can be leveraged across various parts of an application, simplifying maintenance and updates. As a result, developers can minimize the time spent on repetitive code writing and focus more on enhancing other facets of the application.
**2. Virtual DOM:**
React employs a virtual DOM, a lightweight in-memory representation of the actual DOM. This mechanism allows for swift updates and rendering of the UI since React only needs to update the components that have changed. Consequently, this boosts the application’s performance, making it more responsive for users.biggbossvoting
**3. Performance:**
React is renowned for its high performance, attributable to its virtual DOM and selective updating of the UI. This efficiency makes React an excellent choice for building large, complex applications and applications that need to manage vast amounts of data. The enhanced performance ensures a smoother user experience and improved application responsiveness.
