Biscoff Banana Pudding is a dreamy, no-bake dessert that layers creamy vanilla pudding, fresh banana slices, and caramelized-spice Biscoff cookies in one delicious bite. The cookies soften slightly as it chills, turning cake-like and tender, while still giving you that signature spiced cookie flavor that pairs perfectly with bananas and cream.

This recipe takes classic banana pudding and gives it a twist with Biscoff cookies instead of vanilla wafers, plus a luscious pudding base enriched with whipped cream for extra lightness. It looks impressive in a trifle dish or pan but is actually very simple to put together—mostly layering and chilling.

Perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, holidays, or make-ahead desserts, this Biscoff Banana Pudding is the kind of treat that vanishes quickly and has everyone asking for the recipe.

Great for Sharing – Serves a crowd and gets better as it sits.

Ingredients

For the Pudding Layer:

• 2 boxes (3.4 oz / 96 g each) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 3 cups cold milk
• 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
• 1½ cups heavy cream or 3 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), divided
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Layers:

• 1½–2 packages Biscoff cookies (about 40–50 cookies), plus extra for garnish
• 4–5 ripe but firm bananas, sliced

Optional Garnish:

• Crushed Biscoff cookies
• Banana slices (added just before serving)
• A dusting of cinnamon

Instructions

Make the Pudding Base
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for 2–3 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

Whip the Cream
If using heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cream to soft-medium peaks.
Gently fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream (or an equal amount of whipped topping) into the pudding mixture until combined and fluffy. Reserve the remaining whipped cream for the top layer.

Prep the Bananas & Cookies
Peel and slice bananas into rounds.
Have your Biscoff cookies ready, keeping some aside for crushing and garnish.

Layer the Dessert
In a 9×13-inch dish or a large trifle bowl, create layers:

1. Bottom Layer: Spread a thin layer of pudding mixture to lightly coat the bottom.
2. Cookie Layer: Arrange a single layer of Biscoff cookies over the pudding.
3. Banana Layer: Add a layer of banana slices on top of the cookies.
4. Pudding Layer: Spread a generous layer of the pudding mixture over the bananas.

Repeat the cookie–banana–pudding layers until you’ve used most of the pudding, ending with pudding on top. (You can usually get 2–3 layers depending on your dish.)

Top with Whipped Cream
Spread the remaining whipped cream or whipped topping over the final pudding layer in an even layer.

Garnish & Chill
Crush a few Biscoff cookies and sprinkle over the top. You can also gently press a few whole cookies upright along the edges for decoration.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld.

Serve
Spoon into bowls, making sure each serving gets cookies, bananas, and cream.
If desired, top each serving with extra crushed Biscoff and a fresh banana slice right before serving.

Tips for Success

Use Ripe but Firm Bananas – Overly soft bananas can turn mushy as the dessert chills.
Chill Long Enough – At least 4 hours (or overnight) helps the cookies soften and the flavors blend.
Layer Gently – Spread pudding carefully so the layers stay distinct but still cozy together.
Add Fresh Banana Garnish Late – For the top, add any fresh banana slices just before serving so they don’t brown.

Why This Recipe Works

The combination of instant pudding, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream creates a smooth, rich base that sets softly without being dense. Biscoff cookies absorb moisture from the pudding, softening into cake-like layers while keeping their caramelized spice flavor. Bananas add natural sweetness and fruitiness that pairs perfectly with both the vanilla and the Biscoff.

Layering everything and letting it chill turns a handful of simple ingredients into an impressive, spoonable dessert with multiple textures—creamy, soft, and lightly crunchy. This Biscoff Banana Pudding is a no-bake dessert that feels both nostalgic and modern, ideal for any time you want a crowd-pleasing treat with very little effort.

This recipe layers a chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding, peanut butter, and peanut butter chips so everything melts and bakes into soft, gooey pockets and crispy edges. Serve it warm with ice cream and you get a molten, brownie-meets-pudding texture in every scoop.

Perfect for potlucks, parties, weeknight cravings, or any time you want a chocolate dessert without the fuss, this Chocolate Peanut Butter Dump Cake is the kind of dessert that vanishes fast and has everyone asking for the recipe.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Super Easy “Dump” Method – No mixer, no fancy steps—just layer, drizzle, and bake.
Rich Chocolate + Peanut Butter – Classic combo in a warm, gooey dessert.
Perfect for Crowds – Bakes in a 9×13 pan and serves a bunch.
Best Warm with Ice Cream – Turns into an over-the-top, spoonable dessert.

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Peanut Butter Dump Cake:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432 g)
• 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix (3.4 oz / 96 g)
• 2 cups milk (for the pudding layer)
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter (slightly warmed for easier drizzling)
• 1 cup peanut butter chips (or chopped peanut butter cups)
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
• ½ cup (1 stick / 115 g) unsalted butter, melted

Optional Toppings for Serving:

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
• Chopped peanuts or peanut butter cups
• Warm chocolate or peanut butter drizzle

Instructions

Prep the Pan and Oven
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Make the Pudding Layer
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and slightly thickened (about 1–2 minutes).
Pour the pudding mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Add the Cake Mix
Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Do not mix—just spread it out as evenly as possible.

Add Peanut Butter & Chips
Warm the peanut butter slightly in the microwave (10–20 seconds) to make it easier to drizzle.
Drizzle the peanut butter over the dry cake mix in ribbons. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
Sprinkle peanut butter chips and chocolate chips evenly over the top.

Add the Butter
Slowly drizzle the melted butter evenly over the surface of the cake mix and chips, trying to moisten as much of the dry mix as possible. Some dry spots are okay; the pudding underneath will help hydrate it while baking.

Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the top looks mostly set and dry with some bubbling around the edges.
The center should be a bit soft and gooey—that’s what makes it a “dump cake” style dessert.

Cool Slightly & Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10–15 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve warm, scooping it into bowls like a pudding cake.
Top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and extra peanut butter or chocolate drizzle if desired.

Tips for Success

Don’t Stir – The magic of dump cake comes from layering, not mixing. Let it bake into gooey pockets on its own.
Cover Dry Spots with Butter – Try to drizzle butter over as much of the cake mix as possible for the best texture.
Watch the Bake Time – You want the top set but the inside still soft and pudding-like.
Serve Warm – This dessert is at its best when warm and melty with cold ice cream on top.

Why This Recipe Works

The instant pudding creates a rich, chocolatey base that stays soft and saucy under the cake layer. The dry cake mix on top, moistened with melted butter and the pudding underneath, turns into a mix of tender cake and slightly crisp bits. Peanut butter and peanut butter chips melt into ribbons and pockets throughout, giving you the perfect chocolate–peanut butter bite in every scoop.

Because everything is layered instead of mixed, you get contrast in textures: gooey, fudgy, cakey, and slightly crunchy all in one simple dessert. This Chocolate Peanut Butter Dump Cake delivers big flavor with almost no effort—ideal for when you want maximum dessert with minimum work.

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Shells:

• 2 cups high-quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  (semi-sweet, dark, or milk – your choice)
• 1–2 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting and shine)

For the Creamy Cocoa Filling (per 6 bombs):

• ½ cup powdered hot cocoa mix (or a mix of cocoa + sugar)
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• ¼ cup powdered coffee creamer or milk powder (for extra creaminess)
• ¼ tsp salt (a small pinch, to balance sweetness)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (stirred into the filling if using a paste/cream form, optional)
• ½–1 cup mini marshmallows

To Serve (per bomb):

• 1–1½ cups hot milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Optional Decorations:

• Melted white chocolate or contrasting chocolate for drizzling
• Sprinkles, cocoa nibs, or crushed candy on top

Instructions

Prepare the Chocolate Shells

1. Melt the Chocolate
   Add chocolate and coconut oil (if using) to a microwave-safe bowl.
   Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
2. Coat the Molds
   Using a spoon or pastry brush, coat the inside of silicone half-sphere molds (about 2–2.5 inch / 5–6 cm) with a thin, even layer of melted chocolate.
   Make sure the edges are well coated—they’re where the halves will seal.
3. Chill and Repeat
   Place the mold in the fridge or freezer for 5–10 minutes to set.
   Add a second thin coat of chocolate, especially around the edges, and chill again until completely firm.
4. Remove the Shells
   Gently peel the silicone mold away and pop out the chocolate half-spheres.
   Place them on a chilled plate or tray to keep them from melting while you fill them.

Make the Creamy Filling
5. Mix the Dry Filling
In a small bowl, combine hot cocoa mix, powdered sugar, powdered creamer or milk powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

6. Fill the Bottom Shells
   Set half of the chocolate shells (6 halves, for 6 bombs) in a stable surface (an egg carton or muffin tin works well).
   Add 1–2 tablespoons of the creamy cocoa mixture to each half.
   Top with a small handful of mini marshmallows.

Seal the Chocolate Bombs
7. Warm the Edges
Warm a plate in the microwave or a skillet on very low heat.
Take an empty half-shell and gently press the edge onto the warm surface for a second or two, just until the rim softens.

8. Join the Halves
   Quickly place the warmed rim onto a filled half-shell and press gently to seal.
   Repeat with all remaining shells until you have fully closed chocolate bombs.
   You can use a little extra melted chocolate as “glue” if needed, smoothing around the seam.

Decorate (Optional)
9. Drizzle and Dress Up
Drizzle melted white chocolate or contrasting chocolate over the bombs.
Add sprinkles or other decorations while the drizzle is still wet.
Chill briefly to set.

Serve
10. Make a Creamy Hot Chocolate
Place one Homemade Cream Chocolate Bomb into a large mug.
Slowly pour hot milk over the top. Watch as the shell cracks, melts, and the creamy filling and marshmallows burst out and swirl into the milk.
Stir well and enjoy while hot.

Tips for Success

Use Good Chocolate – Higher-quality chocolate melts smoother and tastes better.
Don’t Rush the Shells – A second thin coat, especially along edges, prevents cracking and leaks.
Work in a Cool Kitchen – Warm hands and rooms can soften the shells, so keep everything cool.
Customize the Filling – Add flavored creamers, flavored cocoa, cinnamon, or even a bit of crushed candy for variety.

Why This Recipe Works

The chocolate shells stay crisp and glossy thanks to gentle melting and double-coating, which gives them enough strength to hold the creamy filling. The powdered cocoa mix, sugar, and powdered creamer inside create a rich, instant hot chocolate base that melts quickly when hit with hot milk.

Marshmallows (and any extra add-ins) add texture and fun, turning a simple cup of hot chocolate into an experience. These Homemade Cream Chocolate Bombs are part treat, part show—a playful, decadent way to serve hot chocolate that feels special but is easy to make in batches for family, friends, or gifts.

Baby Lemon Raspberry Impossible Pies are tiny, crustless pies that magically form their own layers as they bake. Each little pie has a soft, custardy center with bright lemon flavor, juicy raspberries scattered throughout, and a lightly golden top that tastes like a cross between lemon bars and custard pie. No rolling dough, no fuss—just mix, pour, and bake.

This recipe uses a simple batter made with milk, eggs, butter, and a touch of flour and coconut that “impossibly” separates into a tender base and creamy center as it bakes. Fresh raspberries and lemon zest add a burst of color and tang, making these mini pies as pretty as they are delicious.

Perfect for brunch, tea time, baby showers, or easy make-ahead desserts, these Baby Lemon Raspberry Impossible Pies are elegant, simple, and impossible not to love.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

No Crust Needed – The batter forms its own soft “crust” and custard center as it bakes.
Bright Lemon Flavor – Fresh lemon juice and zest keep each bite tangy and refreshing.
Pops of Raspberry – Juicy berries add color, sweetness, and a little tartness.
Mini & Adorable – Individual pies bake in a muffin pan—perfect for sharing or buffets.

Ingredients

For the Baby Lemon Raspberry Impossible Pies:

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded or desiccated coconut (optional, for classic “impossible pie” texture)
• ¼ tsp salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1½ cups milk (whole or 2%)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
• 1–2 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Raspberries:

• 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, not thawed)
• 1–2 tsp granulated sugar (optional, if berries are very tart)

For Serving (Optional):

• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Extra raspberries and thin lemon slices
• Lightly sweetened whipped cream

Instructions

Prep the Pan and Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan very well or line with parchment-style cupcake liners (these help prevent sticking).

Prep the Raspberries
In a small bowl, gently toss raspberries with 1–2 teaspoons of sugar if they’re very tart. Set aside.

Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, coconut (if using), and salt until combined.

Make the Custard Batter
In a large bowl or large measuring jug, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten.
Add milk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined; the batter will be thin.

Assemble the Baby Pies
Divide the raspberries evenly among the muffin cups (a few berries in each).
Pour the lemon custard batter over the raspberries, filling each cup almost to the top, leaving a small space for expansion. Stir gently with a toothpick if you want some raspberries to sit slightly higher.

Bake
Carefully transfer the pan to the oven.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until the baby pies are set around the edges and just slightly jiggly in the very center.
They will puff up while baking and then settle as they cool.

Cool and Chill
Let the pies cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes.
Run a thin knife around the edges if needed, then carefully remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the best texture, chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Serve
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with extra raspberries or thin lemon slices if desired.
Serve chilled or slightly cool, with whipped cream on the side if you like.

Tips for Success

Grease Well – These are custardy and can stick; use nonstick spray or parchment-style liners.
Don’t Overbake – A slight jiggle in the center is okay; they firm as they cool.
Chill Before Serving – Chilling improves the custard texture and makes them easier to remove and handle.
Use Fresh Lemon – Fresh juice and zest give the brightest lemon flavor.

Why This Recipe Works

The thin, eggy batter is key: as it bakes, the flour and coconut settle slightly to create a soft base, while the eggs and milk set into a delicate custard layer. Butter and sugar round everything out, and the lemon cuts through richness with a clean, zesty note.

Raspberries add bursts of color and tart sweetness that play beautifully against the creamy lemon filling. Baking the mixture in muffin cups instead of a full pie makes it quicker to cook, easier to portion, and more elegant to serve—perfect little “impossible” pies that look fancy but are incredibly simple to make.

Ingredients

For the Protein “Nougat” Base:

• 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)
• ½ cup vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup almond milk or milk of choice (plus 1–2 tbsp more if needed)
• 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the Date “Caramel” & Peanuts:

• ½ cup soft Medjool dates, pitted (about 6–8 dates)
• 2–3 tbsp warm water (as needed to blend)
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped (salted or unsalted)

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 1½ cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1–2 tsp coconut oil (for smoother coating)

Optional Toppings:

• Extra chopped peanuts
• Flaky sea salt

Instructions

Make the Protein Base
In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, and a pinch of salt.
Add peanut butter, honey/maple syrup, vanilla, and almond milk.
Stir until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. If too dry, add a splash more milk; if too wet, add a bit more oat flour or protein powder.

Shape the Base Layer
Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) pan or small tray with parchment paper.
Press the protein mixture evenly into the bottom to form a compact layer (about ½–¾ inch thick).
Place in the fridge while you prepare the date layer.

Make the Date “Caramel”
In a small food processor or blender, combine pitted dates, 2 tablespoons warm water, and salt.
Blend until smooth and spreadable, adding an extra tablespoon of water if needed to reach a thick caramel-like consistency.

Add Caramel and Peanuts
Spread the date caramel evenly over the chilled protein base.
Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top and gently press them into the caramel so they stick.
Freeze for 20–30 minutes, or until firm enough to cut cleanly.

Cut into Bites
Remove from the freezer and lift the slab out using the parchment.
Cut into small bite-sized squares or rectangles (about 20–24 pieces).
Place the bites back in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.

Prepare the Chocolate Coating
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.

Dip the Bites
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled bite into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Place on a parchment-lined tray.
While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with extra chopped peanuts or a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired.

Chill to Set
Refrigerate or freeze the tray for 20–30 minutes, or until chocolate is fully set.

Serve
Enjoy straight from the fridge for the best texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Tips for Success

Use Soft Dates – If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes before blending.
Adjust the Dough Texture – The base should be firm but pliable; tweak milk or dry ingredients as needed.
Chill Before Dipping – Cold bites are much easier to coat cleanly in chocolate.
Choose Your Protein – Use a protein powder you like the taste of; it makes a big difference in the final flavor.

Why This Recipe Works

The protein “nougat” base mimics the soft, chewy center of a candy bar while delivering extra protein and fiber. Date caramel gives natural sweetness and a gooey, Snickers-style layer that pairs perfectly with crunchy peanuts.

Dipping the chilled bites in melted chocolate brings it all together, giving a crisp outer shell that cracks to reveal a sweet, nutty, protein-packed interior. These Homemade Protein Snickers Bites feel indulgent but are built with more mindful ingredients—ideal when you want candy-bar flavor with better macros.
