Ginger & Pumpkin Classic Magnolia Banana Pudding

It is literally undeniable to say that Magnolia Bakery didn't perfect a banana pudding. I've had it YEARS ago, and still can remember how I tasted. Decadent, creamy, and the perfect balance of sweetness. I never attempted to try and create it until now, adding a Festive Fall touch to it, adding pumpkin spice & gingersnap cookies. One bite will take you back to Magnolia Bakery, with just a little added touch of the holiday season.
