Cook Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Chill Time: 2-4 hours
  • Total Time: About 4.5 hours

Ingredients

For the Pudding:

  • 3 cups unsweetened almond or oat milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric (optional, for color)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Layers:

  • 4 large ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 cups vegan whipped topping
  • 1 ½ cups Biscoff cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding:

    • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the almond milk, sugar, cornstarch, flour, turmeric (if using), and a pinch of salt.
    • Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Let the pudding cool slightly, then cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.

  2. Assemble the Banana Pudding:

    • In a serving dish or individual cups, layer the vegan pudding, sliced bananas, a dollop of whipped topping, and crushed Biscoff cookies. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous sprinkle of Biscoff cookies on top.

  3. Chill and Serve:

    • Cover the dish and chill in the fridge for another 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
    • Serve cold and enjoy the creamy goodness of this delicious dessert!

Health Benefits

  • Bananas: Packed with potassium, vitamin B6, and natural sugars, they provide a healthy boost of energy and support heart health.
  • Almond or Oat Milk: These plant-based options are rich in calcium and vitamin D, supporting strong bones and overall wellness.
  • Biscoff Cookies: While indulgent, these spiced cookies add a festive flavor to the dessert and are perfect for any occasion.
  • Turmeric: If used, turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and gives the pudding a golden hue. 
Banana pudding is one of those desserts that brings comfort and joy with every bite. This vegan version takes the classic treat and gives it a plant-based twist, making it just as creamy, dreamy, and delicious. With layers of velvety pudding, fresh bananas, and a crispy topping of Biscoff cookies, this dessert is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy!

Welcome to a culinary adventure that celebrates the magic of triangles – my Vegan Crispy Baked Triangle BBQ Tofu! Paired with a perfectly baked sweet potato and oven-roasted broccoli, this plant-based feast is a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave you craving more. So the star of this recipe is of course, triangle tofu! As a tofu enthusiast, I've found that triangle tofu offers a unique twist. Its shape provides more surface area for the marinade, sauce and coating, resulting in a perfect crispy texture that I adore.
