When Magnolia Bakery’s cupcakes made a cameo on a Sex In the City episode in 2000, it catapulted the unassuming spot to stardom. And with lines at the original West Village location perennially snaking around the block since then, true insiders also know that the Classic Banana Pudding is a must-try. Made with decadent layers of vanilla wafers, bananas, and vanilla pudding, the decadent dessert is a creamy and wonderful concoction that’s so good that it should be the new replacement to the customary birthday cake.
The dish: Pumpkin gingersnap banana pudding
While Magnolia Bakery may have become famous for their cupcakes, every true New Yorker knows their banana pudding (which you can also make at home!) is a matchless standout of its own—and the best northern rendition of a Southern classic. Perhaps Southerners would disapprove of this autumnal twist, but on the menu for fall is a creamy pumpkin pudding layered with gingersnap cookies and bananas and spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves.
