What Type of Caramel Works Best for This Dessert?
A thick, gooey caramel sauce works best for this pudding. Whether you use homemade caramel or a high-quality store-bought option, aim for one that can drizzle without being too runny.

Ingredients for the No-Bake Biscoff Banana Pudding with Gooey Caramel Drizzle
To create this rich and creamy dessert, you’ll need a few simple ingredients. Each one plays an essential role in delivering that perfect balance of flavor and texture.
- Biscoff cookies – Provide the signature spiced crunch and base layer.
- Bananas – Add natural sweetness and a fresh, fruity note.
- Whipped cream – Brings lightness and creaminess to the layers.
- Instant vanilla pudding – Forms the smooth custard-like base.
- Milk – Needed to prepare the pudding mix to the right consistency.
- Caramel sauce – Drizzles over the layers for a sweet, gooey finish.
- Cream cheese (optional) – Adds extra richness to the pudding layer.
How To Make the No-Bake Biscoff Banana Pudding with Gooey Caramel Drizzle
Step 1: Prepare the Pudding Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. If using cream cheese for extra richness, beat it in until fully combined.
Step 2: Layer the Cookies and Bananas
Start with a layer of Biscoff cookies at the bottom of your serving dish. Add a layer of sliced bananas on top to create a fresh, fruity base.
Step 3: Add the Creamy Layers
Spread a generous layer of the prepared pudding over the bananas, followed by a fluffy layer of whipped cream.
Step 4: Repeat and Drizzle
Continue layering cookies, bananas, pudding, and whipped cream until your dish is filled. Finish with a final layer of whipped cream.
Step 5: Garnish and Chill
Drizzle the top with gooey caramel sauce, sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make this pudding a day in advance?
Absolutely! In fact, making it a day ahead allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Just keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.
2. Can I substitute the Biscoff cookies with another type of cookie?
Yes, graham crackers or vanilla wafers work well, but you’ll lose the signature spiced flavor of Biscoff.
3. How do I prevent the bananas from browning?
Lightly brush the banana slices with lemon juice before layering to slow oxidation without affecting the flavor much.
4. Can I freeze this dessert?
Freezing is not recommended, as the bananas and whipped cream layers can become watery and lose their texture.
5. How long can leftovers be stored?
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for the best taste and texture.
