How to Make Biscoff Banana Pudding
Step 1 Whisk milk, condensed milk, and pudding mix in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Chill it in the fridge. Let it thicken while you prep the cream.
Step 2 Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Use an electric mixer for best results. Keep it light and fluffy. Don’t overmix or it’ll turn grainy.
Step 3 Fold the pudding into the whipped cream gently. Use a spatula to blend. Stop when no streaks remain. (Hard-learned tip: Overmixing deflates the cream!)
Step 4 Layer half the pudding in a dish. Spread it evenly. Add banana slices and crumbled cookies. Repeat for the next layer.
Step 5 Top with leftover cookies and bananas. Chill for 2 hours or overnight. Serve cold for the best texture. *Fun fact: Biscoff cookies were once served on airplanes!* What’s your favorite cookie to crumble into desserts? Share below!

Serving & Pairing Ideas

Keep It Fresh
This pudding stays fresh in the fridge for 2-3 days. Cover it tight to avoid smells. Freezing? Skip the bananas—add them fresh later. The creamy base freezes well for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge. *Fun fact*: My grandkids sneak spoonfuls straight from the dish! Want to batch-cook? Double the pudding mix, but assemble layers just before serving. Why this matters: Fresh bananas taste better and look prettier. Who else loves midnight fridge raids?Quick Fixes
Pudding too runny? Chill it longer—patience pays off. Whipped cream won’t stiffen? Bowl and beaters must be ice-cold. Bananas browning? Toss slices in lemon juice or add them last. Why this matters: Texture makes or breaks this dessert. Share your tricks in the comments! Ever had a kitchen fail turn into a win?Your Questions, Answered
