In reply to Allison. I would use the nilla wafers as the crumble instead of the graham crackers. It's going to be delish!

My son LOVES your copycat magnolia bakery banana cream pudding. For his birthday I’d love to make this milk bar cake but incorporate the Nilla wafers. How would you suggest I do that? Replace the graham cracker crumbs with Nilla wafers? If so should I toast them per the instructions for the graham crackers? Or should I just layer the Nilla wafers between the cake layers and use them to decorate the top? I’m assuming it would be overkill to use both the graham crackers and Nilla wafers? Thanks Courtney for your amazing recipes!

In reply to Christine. Always better to slice when its slightly cold!

In reply to Kendall. Yes, I'd still follow the directions for freezing and thawing. For the size, if you're doing it as a single layer of everything, you'll want to double the recipe.

Hello, I’d like to make this recipe for a larger serving size. Would it be possible to scale the recipe of all the components and serve in an 12x18x2” pan? I assume the sides of the pan would be a substitute for the acetate paper? Would I still freeze and thaw as directed? Thanks!

SO GOOD. As always. I subbed in Biscoff cookies for the graham crackers and WOW. Highly recommend. I’m the cake maker in my group of friends and one reviewer said this knocked out the previous group favorite for them.

Hi Courtney- this recipe looks so yummy- I’m making it this weekend for
My son-in-laws birthday. It looks so beautiful I hope I can pull it off. Quick question, how many people does it serve and will it fall apart when slicing it? Would it be better to slice when it’s still frozen?
Thank you.
Christine

In reply to Fae. To stabilize the whipped cream, you'll want to bloom your gelatin. You'll find detailed instructions online or on the gelatin packet for how to do that.

In reply to Lina. Yes! Just wrap it well in saran and keep in the freezer.

Best cake I’ve made! How long can I store this in the freezer? Can I make it for an event a week in advance?

This looks yummy! Is the EZ gel used to stabilize the whip cream? I’ve never seen that product before, but sound easy than using gelatin.

I only used your Banana Cream Pudding recipe for a different recipe and I am SO glad I did. It’s wonderful! Next time, I’m making the whole cake! Thanks!

In reply to Celeste. You can do gelatin.

Hi. Is there something else I can use instead of EZ Gel in the whipped cream or can I just omit it?

Thanks.

In reply to Brittany. Did you use instant pudding?

By: Brittany

My banana pudding filling is super liquidy! I don’t know what I did wrong!
I mixed 1.5 oz of the banana pudding mix with 7oz of condensed milk and 1/2 cup of milk. It didn’t set after 3 hours so added a bit more pudding mix, still didn’t set. So just tried to mix with the whipped cream and it’s all just liquidy 🙃 I don’t know what went wrong!

In reply to Christine Calpin. Make sure to put the acetate strips around the cake again if you need to store the cake after you've already cut into it or cut individual slices, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge or freezer.

Loved the flavors!! My cake started to collapse on the second day in the fridge. I suspect this is best eaten on the first day, or maybe should be stored in the freezer??
