Expert Tips

Make sure to chill the Biscoff banana pudding for at least two hours. This help the layers to set and also gives the pudding it’s rich banana flavor. We recommend even refrigerating the day before, it only gets better with time.
Soften the cream cheese before mixing. You want to make sure it’s room temperature so it incorporates into the mixture evenly and smoothly.
Swap homemade whipped topping for store-bought. We love the flavor and texture of homemade whipped cream, but if you are in a pinch for time or want to create less mess in the kitchen, store-bought is great too.
Buy ripe bananas. This is so important, a good banana pudding recipe is only better if the bananas are ripe!

Storage & Make Ahead Instructions

Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. We don’t recommend freezing this Biscoff banana pudding since it will change the texture.

This is a great recipe to make in advance, we actually recommend that you do. It allows the layers to firm up in the fridge and also helps the flavors to marry for extra richness in each bite. Assemble up to a day in advance.

FAQs

Can I make the pudding from scratch?

Yes, if you prefer to make it homemade that’s works well, just be sure to let the pudding cools completely before layering.

What other cookies can I use to layer banana pudding?

Butter cookies, shortbread, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, and madeleines are all things we have made this recipe with and are delicious.

How do I keep the bananas from turning dark in the pudding?

Simply toss them in 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon juice before adding them to the casserole dish. This prevents them from oxidizing, but will not add lemon flavor to your recipe.

Why is my banana pudding runny?

You didn’t whip the instant pudding enough or let it sit too long in the fridge before serving.
