What Is Biscoff Banana Pudding?

Compared to classic banana pudding, this version tastes warmer, richer, and slightly more buttery while keeping the creamy comfort that makes banana pudding such a longtime Southern favorite.
After chilling overnight, the cookies soften into tender layers that taste almost like a creamy icebox cake.

How to Make Biscoff Banana Pudding
Make the Pudding Base
Whisk the vanilla pudding mix, milk, and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the sour cream, vanilla bean paste, banana liqueur, and one container of Cool Whip. Fold gently until the mixture looks creamy and fluffy.
The pudding should hold soft mounds on a spoon. If it still looks loose, let it sit for several minutes before assembling the layers.
The pudding mixture should look airy and thick enough to spread cleanly between the cookie layers.
Build the Layers
Arrange a layer of Lotus Biscoff cookies across the bottom of a large serving dish.
Spread pudding evenly over the cookies, making sure the edges are covered so the cookies soften evenly while chilling.
Top with sliced bananas, melted cookie butter, and Heath bits.
Repeat the layers and finish with pudding on top.
Finish and Chill
Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding and drizzle with the remaining cookie butter.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, though the best texture happens after 8 to 12 hours of chilling.
By the next day, the cookies soften into tender cake-like layers.
The pudding slices best after overnight chilling, when the cookie layers soften fully.
Helpful Tips Before You Start
- Use ripe but firm bananas instead of overly spotted bananas.
- Warm the cookie butter gently before drizzling so it spreads evenly.
- Let the pudding mixture thicken before layering.
- Use a deep serving dish so the layers stay visible after scooping.
- Chilling overnight gives the best flavor and texture.
A Few Easy Mistakes to Avoid
- Runny pudding: The pudding mixture likely needed more whisking time before folding in Cool Whip.
- Mushy cookies: Overripe bananas release extra moisture while chilling.
- Brown bananas: Slice bananas shortly before assembling.
- Hard cookie butter: Warm gently before adding to the layers.
- Sliding layers: Chill longer before serving.

The sour cream keeps the pudding from tasting overly sweet, while the Heath bits add enough crunch to keep the dessert from becoming overly soft after overnight chilling.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh

The texture is best during the first 24 hours, when the cookies are soft but still slightly structured.

Can You Make It Ahead?
