Biscoff Banana Pudding (Printable)
No-bake layers of creamy vanilla pudding with fresh bananas and caramel-spiced Biscoff cookies create this luscious chilled dessert.
# What You Need:
→ Pudding Base
01 - 2 cups cold whole milk
02 - 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (5.1 oz)
03 - 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
04 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Fruit & Cookies
06 - 3 large ripe bananas, sliced
07 - 32 Biscoff cookies, plus extra for garnish
→ Topping
08 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream
09 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
10 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - Crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish
# Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix for 2 minutes until dissolved. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
02 - Stir the sweetened condensed milk into the thickened pudding until completely smooth and well incorporated.
03 - In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the pudding mixture until no streaks remain.
04 - Arrange a single layer of Biscoff cookies in the bottom of a trifle dish or 9x13-inch baking dish, breaking cookies as needed to fit.
05 - Top the cookie layer with half of the banana slices, arranging them evenly. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the bananas.
06 - Repeat with remaining cookies, bananas, and pudding mixture, creating distinct layers. Smooth the top surface with a spatula.
07 - Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow cookies to soften and flavors to meld.
08 - Whip the remaining 1 cup heavy cream with powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe decoratively over the chilled pudding.
09 - Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the top. Add fresh banana slices if desired. Serve cold and enjoy within 24 hours.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The caramel spice from Biscoff cookies transforms ordinary banana pudding into something that feels like a restaurant dessert but comes together in twenty minutes
- Each layer gets better as it chills, with cookies softening into cake like texture and bananas perfuming the creamy pudding
02 -
- The chilling time is absolutely non negotiable, the cookies need those hours to soften into a cake like texture and the flavors need time to marry
- Wait to slice your bananas until right before assembly, or toss them gently with a little lemon juice to prevent browning
03 -
- Warm your Biscoff cookies in the microwave for 10 seconds before layering, they release more of that caramel spice fragrance
- Freeze your mixing bowl and whisk for 10 minutes before whipping cream, it whips up faster and holds longer
