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:

- 2 cups vegan whipped topping

Instructions
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.
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.
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!
