Why You'll Love This Biscoff Pudding Recipe

I first saw Biscoff banana pudding on TikTok, and it looked unreal. Biscoff desserts have been everywhere lately, and after how legit the Biscoff craze has been, I had to try a banana pudding version. It did not disappoint.

It’s over-the-top in the best way, but still easy to make. You start with classic vanilla pudding and sweetened condensed milk for richness, then fold in whipped cream so it’s light and fluffy instead of heavy. Cookie butter adds that warm caramel-spice flavor, bananas keep it nostalgic, and the Biscoff cookies soften into that perfect banana pudding texture after a chill.

It’s also the ultimate make-ahead dessert. Let it sit overnight, and it gets even better! The layers set, the cookies turn soft, and every scoop tastes like you planned dessert on purpose. Perfect for holidays, cookouts, birthdays, and potlucks.

Ingredients You'll Need

For the Pudding Layer:

• 2 vanilla pudding packets (3.4 oz each)
• 4 cups cold whole milk
• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Whipped Cream Layer:

• 16 oz heavy cream, cold
• ⅓ cup powdered sugar (45g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Extra Layers + Toppings:

• 3 large bananas, sliced
• 13.4 oz Biscoff cookie butter (1 jar)
• 1 ½ packs Biscoff cookies
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• Caramel sauce, for drizzle (optional)

Ingredient Notes That Make This Biscoff Pudding Better

• Cold milk: Pudding sets best when milk is cold. Warm milk can make pudding take longer to thicken.
• Sweetened condensed milk: Adds creamy richness and helps the pudding taste more “bakery.”
• Whipped cream: Folding in whipped cream makes the pudding airy and light. It also gives that classic banana pudding texture.
• Biscoff cookie butter: Warm it slightly so it drizzles and swirls easily. Just don’t heat it too much.
• Bananas: Slice right before layering so they stay fresher. Bananas will soften overnight, which is normal and part of banana pudding’s charm.
• Overnight chill: This is the secret to viral banana pudding texture. The cookies soften into cake-like layers and the flavors blend.

How to Make Biscoff Banana Pudding

Step 1: Make the pudding base

In a large bowl, whisk sweetened condensed milk and cold whole milk until fully combined. Add vanilla pudding mix and whisk until smooth.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for about 25 minutes to set.

Step 2: Whip the cream

In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Step 3: Fold it together

Remove pudding from the fridge. Add cinnamon if using. Fold whipped cream into the pudding mixture in batches until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4: Layer

In a large serving dish, add a layer of Biscoff cookies. Spread a layer of pudding mixture over the cookies. Add sliced bananas, crushed Biscoff cookies, and drizzle Biscoff spread over the layer.

Repeat those layers until you reach the top. Finish with the remaining pudding mixture on top. Drizzle more Biscoff spread and swirl lightly with a knife.

Step 5: Chill overnight

Cover and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor and texture

Step 6: Finish and serve

Before serving, top with crushed Biscoff cookies, a few whole cookies, and a caramel drizzle to take it to another level. Then dig in and enjoy!

Pro Tips for the Best Biscoff Banana Pudding

• Chill overnight if you can. A couple hours is fine, but overnight is when it turns into true banana pudding. The cookies soften, the layers set, and every scoop gets that perfect creamy texture.
• Whip to stiff peaks. Stiff peaks keep the pudding thick and fluffy. If your whipped cream is only at soft peaks, the pudding can end up looser and won’t hold clean layers as well.
• Fold gently, don’t stir hard. Fold the whipped cream in with a spatula until just combined. Overmixing knocks the air out and makes the pudding heavier instead of light and airy.
• Warm the cookie butter slightly for easy swirls. Microwave it 10–15 seconds so it drizzles. Don’t overheat it, if it’s too hot it can melt into the pudding layer instead of giving you pretty swirls.
• Slice bananas right before layering. Fresh slices give the best flavor and color. If you’re worried about browning, you can very lightly toss banana slices in a tiny bit of lemon juice, just know it can add a slight lemon note.
• Use a mix of whole and crushed cookies. Whole cookies create clean, sturdy layers. Crushed cookies add texture and give you that “viral” look on top. Saving some crumbs for the final sprinkle makes the presentation pop.
• Don’t soak the bottom layer. If your pudding is on the looser side, start with a thin layer of pudding first, then cookies. It helps prevent the bottom layer from turning too mushy after chilling.

Biscoff Banana Pudding Storage Tips

• Refrigerator: Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. The bananas will soften more as it sits, which is normal. For the best flavor and texture, it’s at its peak on day 1 and day 2.
• Freezing: Freezing isn’t recommended. The pudding and whipped cream texture can change after thawing and turn watery or grainy.
• Make-ahead tip: This dessert is made for making ahead. Assemble it the night before and let it chill overnight so the cookies soften and the layers set into that classic banana pudding texture. If you want the prettiest top, save some crushed Biscoff and caramel drizzle to add right before serving.

Biscoff Banana Pudding FAQs

Can I make Biscoff banana pudding ahead of time?

Yes, and you should. An overnight chill gives you the best texture, the cookies soften perfectly, and the flavors blend into that classic banana pudding bite.

Why is my pudding runny?

Usually, the pudding didn’t thicken enough before you folded in the whipped cream, or the whipped cream wasn’t whipped to stiff peaks. Chill time helps a lot, too, since this dessert thickens as it sits. If it’s still loose after chilling, it’s almost always a whipped cream or pudding-set issue.

Can I use Cool Whip instead of homemade whipped cream?

Yes. Use one 8 oz tub of Cool Whip for a quicker version. The texture will be slightly different (more stable and a little sweeter), but it works great.

Do Biscoff cookies get soggy?

They soften, and that’s the goal. Just like vanilla wafers in classic banana pudding, the cookies turn cake-like and tender after chilling, especially overnight.

Can I use a different cookie?

You can, but Biscoff is what gives this dessert its signature caramel-spice flavor. Vanilla wafers work if you want a more classic banana pudding vibe, but you’ll lose that cookie butter taste.

How do you keep bananas from turning brown in banana pudding?

The best trick is assembling and serving within 1–2 days. That’s when it looks and tastes best. You can also slice bananas right before layering, and if you really want extra insurance, lightly toss the slices with a tiny bit of lemon juice (just know it can add a slight lemon note).
