Description
A layered, no-bake pudding that combines creamy vanilla pudding, tangy-sweet cream cheese, ripe bananas, crunchy Biscoff cookies, and a generous caramel drizzle. Make it in a large trifle bowl or a 9×13 dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Biscoff cookies
- 3–4 bananas, cut into rounds
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered (confectioners’) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
Instructions
- Whip the cream. In a chilled bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until the cream holds stiff peaks. Set aside.
- Make the cream-cheese base. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully blended and silky.
- Prepare the instant pudding. Whisk the vanilla pudding mix into the whole milk until smooth. Let the pudding stand for about 5 minutes so it thickens.
- Combine the components. Fold the cream-cheese mixture into the thickened pudding until even. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until no streaks remain.
- Layer the dessert. Arrange a single layer of Biscoff cookies across the bottom of your serving dish. Spoon a portion of the pudding mixture over the cookies, then top with a layer of banana slices.
- Repeat layers. Continue alternating cookies, pudding, and bananas until you reach the top of the dish, finishing with a layer of pudding.
- Add the caramel. Generously drizzle the caramel sauce over the topmost layer.
- Chill thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight yields the best texture and flavor melding.
- Serve. Before serving, scatter additional crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs over the top and add a final caramel drizzle if desired. Serve cold.
Notes
Notes & Tips
- Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness, but slice them just before assembling to reduce browning.
- Room-temperature cream cheese blends more smoothly—don’t rush this step.
- If you prefer extra crunch, reserve a handful of cookies to crumble on top right before serving so they stay crisp.
- This dessert keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days; cookies will soften over time.
