I often dream of giving “Treat Tours” of New York City–I would show visitors around town and take them to all my favorite treat stops . . . the Toasted Marshmallow Gelato Shake at Stand, the Sweet & Salty Brownie at Baked, the enormous cookies from Levain, and the grand finale: Magnolia Bakery’s Famous Banana Pudding.

This banana pudding is divine. Anna may or may not have said, “This stuff is so good I want to swim in it!” Not totally sure what that means? Trust me, it’s a good thing. The best part about this recipe: It couldn’t be easier to make. It’s so much simpler than a lot of complicated pudding recipes out there.
