Frequently Asked Questions About Magnolia pudding

What is Magnolia pudding?

Magnolia pudding is a chilled layered dessert made with creamy milk pudding, biscuits and usually banana. It is associated with the Magnolia Bakery style of banana pudding, while recipes vary in the type of custard, cookie and fruit used.

How do you make Magnolia pudding?

Make Magnolia pudding by cooking a milk-based custard until thick, then layering it in cups with crushed biscuits and sliced banana. Let the custard cool before assembling, and refrigerate the finished dessert so the layers set and the biscuits soften.

Why is it called Magnolia pudding?

The name refers to Magnolia Bakery, whose banana pudding helped popularize this style of layered dessert. Magnolia pudding does not traditionally contain magnolia flowers; its defining features are creamy pudding layered with cookies and fruit.

What biscuits or cookies are used in Magnolia pudding?

Vanilla wafers are commonly used in the Magnolia Bakery-style version, while other recipes use digestive biscuits or similar plain cookies. Choose a crisp biscuit that can soften in the pudding without immediately turning to mush.

How do you stop bananas from browning in Magnolia pudding?

Add banana slices shortly before assembling Magnolia pudding and cover them completely with pudding to limit contact with air. A little lemon juice can also slow browning, but too much may make the dessert noticeably tart.

How long does Magnolia pudding last in the fridge?

Magnolia pudding is best eaten within about 2 days when kept covered in the refrigerator. The banana can darken and the cookies continue softening over time, so the texture is usually at its best soon after assembly.

Can you make Magnolia pudding ahead of time?

Yes, Magnolia pudding can be assembled a day ahead and chilled; the rest helps the cookie layers soften. For a fresher look, save any banana or cookie topping for just before serving, and keep the dessert covered in the refrigerator.

Can you freeze Magnolia pudding?

Freezing Magnolia pudding is not recommended. Thawing can make the custard separate, the banana turn soft and the cookies lose their texture; refrigerate it instead and make only as much as you can eat while it is fresh.

Can you make Magnolia pudding without bananas?

Yes, Magnolia pudding can be made without bananas by layering the custard with strawberries, peaches or another fruit. Choose fruit that is not overly watery, and pat washed pieces dry so they do not loosen the pudding.

Why is my Magnolia pudding runny?

Magnolia pudding is often runny because the custard was not cooked long enough to thicken or was layered while still hot. Stir the custard as it cooks until it thickens, then cool it before assembling; chilling helps it set further.
