The “Best in the South” No-Bake Banana Pudding

Banana pudding is the undisputed heavyweight champion of Southern desserts. While a fancy cooked custard is nice, the “most loved” version in the South—the kind you find at every church potluck and BBQ joint—is the No-Bake Magnolia Bakery Style.

It’s less of a pudding and more of a luscious, creamy trifle that transforms crisp vanilla wafers into cake-like layers overnight.

 

Prep time: 20 mins | Chill time: 4–6 hours (Essential!)

1. The Ingredients

  • The Base: * 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk.

    • 1 ½ cups Ice-cold water.

    • 1 box (3.4 oz) Instant Vanilla Pudding mix (French Vanilla also works).

  • The Fluff: * 3 cups Heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks) or 1 large tub of whipped topping.

  • The Layers: * 1 box Nilla Wafers (keep a few extra for crumbling on top).

    • 4–5 Ripe bananas (sliced into ¼ inch rounds).
