Magnolia Bakery has put banana pudding on the map. Sadly for Canadians, the bakery has yet to bring its goods to our streets. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t make a treat inspired by the famous bakery at home.
This banana pudding is a classic no-bake dessert. It is easy to make and uses only a handful of ingredients. The traditional recipe from the New York City bakery uses Nilla Wafers. However, for people in Canada, that option is no longer available to us.
For this recipe, I found ladyfingers were the perfect substitute because they are a spongy biscuit that’s great for soaking up all that creamy banana goodness!
