Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups cold milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 package Biscoff cookies
- ½ cup crushed Biscoff cookies (for topping)
How to Make Biscoff Banana Pudding
Step 1: Prepare the Pudding
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Continue whisking for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set it aside to let it fully set while you prepare the whipped cream.
Step 2: Make the Whipped Cream
In another bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This step adds a light and airy texture to the pudding, making it even more luxurious. Once whipped, gently fold half of it into the pudding mixture to create a smooth and creamy base. Save the remaining whipped cream for layering and topping.
Step 3: Layer the Pudding
Now comes the fun part—assembling the pudding! In a trifle dish, a large bowl, or even individual serving cups, begin layering the ingredients:
- Start with a layer of Biscoff cookies at the bottom. You can leave them whole for a firmer texture or crush them slightly for a softer consistency.
- Add a layer of banana slices on top of the cookies.
- Spoon a generous layer of the vanilla pudding mixture over the bananas.
- Repeat the layers until you’ve used all your ingredients, ending with a final layer of whipped cream.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
For the best flavor and texture, let the banana pudding chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or ideally overnight). This allows the cookies to soften slightly while all the flavors meld together beautifully. Before serving, sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top for extra crunch and a finishing touch.
Helpful Tips
- Use Ripe Bananas: Choose bananas that are ripe but not overly mushy. They should have a few brown spots for natural sweetness.
- Chill for Best Results: Letting the pudding sit in the fridge for a few hours enhances the flavors and ensures the cookies absorb just the right amount of moisture.
- Layer in Jars for Individual Servings: If you’re making this for a party, try layering the pudding in small mason jars for an easy grab-and-go dessert.
- Crush Some Biscoff for Extra Crunch: A mix of whole and crushed cookies creates the perfect texture contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
Yes! In fact, this pudding tastes even better when made ahead and chilled overnight. Just wait to add the crushed cookies on top until right before serving to keep them crunchy.
How Long Does This Pudding Last?
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this banana pudding will stay fresh for up to 3 days. However, the bananas may begin to soften and brown over time.
Can I Use Homemade Pudding Instead of Instant?
Absolutely! If you prefer to make pudding from scratch, go for it. Just be sure to let it cool completely before assembling the layers.

To keep the banana slices fresh and vibrant, you can lightly brush them with lemon or pineapple juice. This slows down oxidation and helps maintain their color.
