All my favorite flavors combined into one delicious dessert! Here it is, I'm sharing with you, a recipe based on banana pudding -- From the cookbook, More From Magnolia Bakery. Cooking time also reflects time in refrigerator to chill.

  • Gently fold in the pudding mixture into the whipped cream until well blended and so streaks of pudding remain.
  • To assemble dessert: Select a large wide bowl (preferably glass) with a 4-5 quart capacity.
  • Arrange one-third of the gingersnaps to cover the bottom of the bowl, ovelapping if necessary, then one third of the pudding.
  • Repeat the layering twice more.
  • Garnish the top layer with raspberries.
