Ingredients
To make this indulgent dessert, you’ll need:
- 2–3 ripe bananas – sliced
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
- 2 cups cold milk – for the pudding
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream – or 1 tub whipped topping
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar – optional, for sweetening whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package Biscoff cookies (around 30 cookies) – crushed or whole, depending on layering
- Optional: caramel drizzle, crushed nuts, cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pudding
Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes. Let it sit to thicken.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold it into the pudding for a smooth, fluffy texture (or use Cool Whip if preferred).
Step 3: Prepare the Bananas
Slice bananas just before assembling to avoid browning.
Step 4: Layer It Up
In a glass dish or trifle bowl:
- Start with a layer of crushed Biscoff cookies.
- Add a layer of banana slices.
- Spoon over the creamy pudding mixture.
- Repeat layers until you fill your dish.
Top with extra crushed Biscoff cookies and a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor and presentation.
Step 5: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften slightly.
Tips for Success
- 🍌 Prevent browning: Dip banana slices in lemon juice or orange juice.
- 🥶 Make ahead: Assemble the night before serving.
- 🍰 Serve in jars: Great for parties, picnics, or portion control.
Fun Variations
- Chocolate Biscoff Banana Pudding – Add chocolate pudding instead of vanilla.
- Biscoff Cheesecake Banana Pudding – Mix some cream cheese into the pudding for a tangy twist.
- Vegan version – Use non-dairy milk, vegan pudding mix, and coconut whipped cream.
Why Biscoff Makes It Better
Biscoff cookies, also known as speculoos, are spiced shortbread-style cookies with deep caramelized flavor and a touch of cinnamon. Their texture softens beautifully in pudding while maintaining just enough crunch. They elevate this dessert with a gourmet flair that traditional vanilla wafers can’t match.
