Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 box vanilla pudding mix (instant is best, 3.4 oz)

  • 2 1/2 cups cold milk (whole milk preferred for creaminess)

  • 1 cup Biscoff cookies, crushed (plus extra for garnish)

  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)


Kitchen Tools Needed

  • Mixing bowl

  • Whisk

  • Measuring cups

  • Serving dish or trifle bowl

  • Spatula or spoon


Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Pudding

In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

2. Prepare the Layers

Grab your favorite serving dish or trifle bowl. Begin with a layer of crushed Biscoff cookies on the bottom, followed by a layer of sliced bananas.

3. Add the Pudding

Spoon half of the vanilla pudding mixture over the banana layer and smooth it out evenly.

4. Repeat the Layers

Repeat the cookie, banana, and pudding layers one more time to create beautiful layers.

5. Add the Toppings

Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top layer, then spread whipped cream across the top. Finish with a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies and an extra drizzle of caramel for that “wow” factor.

6. Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften slightly.


Pro Tips for Perfect Banana Pudding

  • Choose ripe bananas: Spotty bananas offer the best sweetness and flavor.

  • Use full-fat milk: For a richer, thicker pudding.

  • Crush, don’t pulverize: You want texture from the Biscoff cookies, not dust.

  • Make it ahead: This dessert gets better after chilling for a few hours or even overnight.

  • Keep bananas fresh: Lightly toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning if preparing far in advance.


Recipe Variations & Add-Ins

Want to customize your banana pudding? Here are some fun ideas:

  • Add cookie butter: Swirl in Biscoff spread between layers or into the pudding itself.

  • Use chocolate pudding: For a chocolate-banana twist.

  • Add cream cheese: Blend softened cream cheese into the pudding for a cheesecake-like layer.

  • Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk, dairy-free pudding mix, and coconut whipped cream.

  • Try different cookies: No Biscoff? Use graham crackers or vanilla wafers for a classic feel.


Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover banana pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Note: the bananas will soften over time and may brown slightly, but the flavor will still be delicious.

To maintain the best presentation, avoid assembling more than a day ahead if you’re serving for guests.


Suggested Pairings

While this dessert is a star all on its own, you can take it up a notch with:

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream

  • Iced coffee or cold brew with a splash of cream

  • Fresh strawberries for a fruity contrast

  • Sparkling Moscato or dessert wine for a fancy finish


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use homemade pudding instead of instant?
Yes! Homemade pudding works great. Just be sure to cool it completely before layering.

Q: What if I don’t have Biscoff cookies?
Graham crackers or vanilla wafers are good alternatives. The flavor profile will change, but the texture remains lovely.

Q: Can I make this in individual cups or jars?
Absolutely. Mason jars, ramekins, or parfait glasses are perfect for single servings.

Q: How do I prevent bananas from browning?
A light toss in lemon juice before layering helps slow oxidation without altering flavor too much.

Q: Is this dessert freezer-friendly?
Not recommended. Freezing alters the texture of the bananas and pudding. Best kept chilled in the fridge.
