What size are these glass cups you used? They look like 4 or 6 oz but I can’t tell!

Absolutely love this pudding and just went and got the ingredients once again because my sons bugging me to make this. Ordering online for $65 which is sold online magnolia bakery banana pudding but for about $12 I can make a pan fresh, and have many times.

To make this real simple for those wondering, 1 cup of ice cold water plus 1/2 cup of ice cold water which is (1 1/2 cups)

Most definitely use the INSTANT vanilla brand we use is jello and we use the bigger box over the small box, so pay attention as to not accidentally get the cook and serve pudding and we leave everything else the same and we prepare the water, sweetened condensed milk and pudding mixture a night before and I get up and prepare the rest the next morning so it can sit in the fridge all day. I use bananas that are more to the green and absolutely never add the bananas to the pudding as it sits in the fridge, but slice fresh bananas each serving as to not ever deal with brown colored and gross looking bananas.

I keep the bananas in the fridge so they will be cold and yes the peel will darken some but the banana is perfectly good for slicing on each serving of pudding. Pudding keeps about 3 to 4 days this way without nasty looking bananas.

Do stir your pudding by hand once the whipped cream is made by electric mixer as not to over mix using the electric mixer anymore in the recipe.

This is a wonderful recipe and as good as the actual bakery recipe.

A good cookie to use in place of Nilla are Chessman which is what they use in the Paula Dean not yo mommas banana pudding that I’ve made but always come back to this recipe most every time.

I absolutely love banana pudding.

I absolutely love this recipe which isn’t supposed to be homemade, but is supposed to Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding.

Enjoy!

This is not a TRUE HOMEMADE Banana Pudding. A true banana pudding has homemade filling in it, NOT instant pudding.

I’d the recipe for 1 & 1/2 cup of water or just 1/2 cup because I used 1&1/2 since you put the one next to the 1/2

Yes, it is best to keep those ingredients in the recipe. You can lower the amount though.

I accidentally bought the non-instant pudding. Do I still add the sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream?

If it’s still soupy it’s because you used the pudding that needs to be cooked instead of instant. I did this the first time then had to take the pudding out the fridge and cook it. Then it got stiff when I put it back in the fridge and the recipe turned out great. Make sure to get instant pudding if you don’t want to have to make the pudding on the stove.
