Chicago's Hidden Gem for Desserts!

The Banana Pudding is So Good You'll Want to Stomp Your Feet in Joy! 🍌 🍮 Magnolia Bakery 🍮 (First floor of Block 37 Mall) I first discovered Magnolia Bakery on a weekend when I was rock climbing indoors with a friend at Block 37. After our climb, we were wandering around the mall when I spotted this charming dessert shop. With its soft, creamy decor, I couldn't resist going in for a look, but I managed to hold off on making a purchase that day. 🥰 Then I heard about their famous banana pudding! It's a branch of the original New York store, and I was instantly intrigued. I had to make another trip! 🍌 I initially planned to just get the banana pudding, but when I saw the blueberry cheesecake in the display case... I couldn't resist. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I went for the combo! 🍌 Banana Pudding It's truly legendary! The pudding is smooth and creamy, layered with banana slices and vanilla wafer crumbs. Every bite is a perfect blend of rich banana and dairy flavors. The sweetness is just right—not too much—and it's the perfect comfort food for a chilly Chicago day. 😍 🫐 Blueberry Cheesecake The portion is generous, and it looks so tempting. The cheesecake is incredibly smooth and delicate, with a firm graham cracker crust that doesn't get soggy. The blueberry sauce has a perfect balance of sweet and tangy, leaving you with a smile on your face. 😋 Who can resist the joy that a gentle dessert brings? If one isn't enough, then two will do! 🍰 🍰 Tips: - I recommend the regular-sized banana pudding; it's just the right amount and won't leave you feeling too full. - The shop isn't crowded, so you can drop by anytime to treat yourself. - The cheesecake is so delicious that it's easy to get addicted, so it's best shared with a friend! 🥳 #Chicago #ChicagoLife #Pudding #DeliciousDesserts #DessertsHealEverything #LifeInNorthAmerica #ChicagoFood #ChicagoExplore #Dessert
