It's been 10 years since Carrie first told Miranda about a cute furniture maker named Aidan while they ate cupcakes in front of Magnolia Bakery, but the NYC shop is still going strong. 

And the bakery has become just as famous for its banana pudding as those cupcakes that appeared on "Sex and the City" a decade ago. 

Now, Magnolia Bakery is sharing its recipe for the beloved dessert so that you can enjoy it at home — even if you're nowhere near one of the bakery's seven open US locations.

To make Magnolia Bakery's classic banana pudding, you'll need: 

• 4 to 5 ripe bananas, sliced 
• 11-ounce box of vanilla wafers (Nilla Wafers are recommended) 
• 3 cups of heavy cream 
• 1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix (Jell-O is recommended)
• 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk 
• 1 ½ cups of ice-cold water

To begin Magnolia's recipe, start by whisking the milk and cold water together. Add the pudding mix into a separate bowl and slowly whisk in your milk and water mixture for about one minute, until it's smooth and lumpless. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least an hour. You can also leave it overnight if need be. 

Once your pudding mixture is ready, whisk your heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add the pudding to your whipped cream and mix until they've fully blended together. 

Spread a quarter of your pudding over the bottom of a bowl — Bobbie Lloyd, Magnolia's chief baking officer, recommends using a trifle bowl or a wide glass bowl. Add a layer of vanilla wafers and enough sliced bananas on top to cover them. Repeat twice. 

To finish, add one final layer of pudding and any of your additional cookies or crumbs on top. Then cover your bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for four to six hours. Lloyd recommends serving the banana pudding within 12 hours.
