How to Make This Recipe?
Step 1: Make Your Pudding
In a medium bowl, whisk together 350 g of cold milk, 397 g of sweetened condensed milk, and 102 g of instant vanilla pudding mix. Keep whisking until the pudding mix is fully dissolved. You wanna set that aside in the fridge to chill and thicken up while you whip your cream. This step is super important because it really makes the pudding nice and creamy.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, pour in your 470 g of whipping cream. Grab your electric hand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip that cream until you see firm peaks forming. This usually takes a few minutes, so be patient! When you lift the whisk, the cream should hold its shape without drooping.
Step 3: Combine Pudding & Cream
Add that chilled pudding mixture into your whipped cream, and gently fold them together with a spatula until everything is smooth and no streaks remain. You want it to look fluffy and dreamy!
Step 4: Layer It Up
Scoop half of your pudding mixture into a 9×13” dish and spread it out evenly. Slice your bananas into 1/4” thick coins and sprinkle about 75% of them on top of the pudding. Now, grab 18 of those Biscoff cookies and crumble them over the bananas.
Step 5: Top It Off
Pour the remaining pudding mixture on top, smoothing it into an even layer. Finish by adding the rest of the banana slices and crumbled cookies as garnish. If you’re making this ahead of time, slice a fresh banana to add on top right before serving so it stays nice and yellow.
Step 6: Chill & Serve
Cover this beauty and pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours or even overnight if time allows. When you’re ready to dig in, scoop directly from the dish or dish it out into smaller containers if you like it mixed.
How to Store It & Expert Tips
How to Store It
Keep your Biscoff Banana Pudding covered in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can freeze it, but know that the texture changes a bit once thawed. Just let it sit in the fridge overnight to thaw before serving. No need to reheat this—enjoy it cold!
Expert Tips
- Want to make it extra special? Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon in the pudding.
