What Is Biscoff Cookie Pudding?

Biscoff cookie pudding is a layered refrigerator dessert similar to an icebox cake. Crisp Lotus Biscoff cookies are layered with whipped cream and Biscoff cookie butter spread. As the assembled dessert rests, the cookies absorb moisture from the cream and soften into a cake-like texture.

The resting time is part of the recipe. If the pudding is served immediately, the cookies will still be crisp and the layers will not hold together as well.

Equipment Needed

You will need:

• A 9 × 13-inch pan
• A large mixing bowl
• A hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment
• A small microwave-safe bowl
• A rubber spatula or offset spatula
• Plastic wrap or a fitted lid

For the best whipped cream, chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment for 10 to 15 minutes before beginning.

Ingredients for Biscoff Cookie Pudding

Lotus Biscoff cookies

You will need approximately 20 cookies. The cookies provide the structure of the dessert and soften as they rest beneath the whipped cream.

Biscoff cookie butter spread

Seven ounces of Biscoff spread are warmed until pourable and divided between the interior layers. Do not overheat it. The spread only needs to be loose enough to drizzle or spread easily.

Cold heavy whipping cream

Keep the heavy cream refrigerated until you are ready to whip it. Cold cream traps air more effectively and produces a more stable whipped cream.

Powdered sugar

Powdered sugar dissolves easily in the cream and adds light sweetness without leaving a grainy texture.

Vanilla extract

Vanilla rounds out the caramelized spice flavor of the cookies and cookie butter.

How to Make Biscoff Cookie Pudding

1. Prepare the equipment

Place the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes. Keeping the bowl, whisk, and cream cold will help the cream whip properly.

2. Warm the cookie butter

Place the Biscoff spread in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it for approximately 30 seconds, then stir until smooth.

If it is still too thick to drizzle, heat it for an additional 5 to 10 seconds. Avoid overheating it because very hot cookie butter can soften the whipped cream.

Set the spread aside while you prepare the cream.

3. Make the whipped cream

Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Begin mixing on medium speed until the cream becomes frothy.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whipping on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Soft peaks should hold their shape briefly before the tips gently fold over. Do not continue whipping until the cream becomes stiff or grainy.

4. Build the first layer

Arrange approximately half of the Biscoff cookies across the bottom of the 9 × 13-inch pan. The cookies do not have to cover every inch of the pan.

Spread approximately half of the whipped cream over the cookies. Drizzle half of the warmed Biscoff spread over the cream.

5. Finish the layers

Arrange the remaining cookies over the first layer. Drizzle the remaining Biscoff spread over the cookies, then cover everything with the remaining whipped cream.

Smooth the top with a rubber spatula or offset spatula.

If desired, garnish the pudding with additional crushed Biscoff cookies. These would be in addition to the approximately 20 cookies used inside the dessert.

6. Chill the pudding

Cover the pan and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. A longer resting time will produce softer cookies and more cohesive layers.

For the softest, most cake-like texture, assemble the pudding the evening before serving and refrigerate it overnight.

How to Tell When the Pudding Is Ready

The dessert is ready when a knife or serving spoon moves easily through the cookie layers. If the cookies still feel noticeably crisp, cover the pan and return it to the refrigerator for another hour.

The texture will continue to soften the longer the dessert rests.

Tips for the Best Biscoff Cookie Pudding

Keep the cream cold

Heavy cream should not be brought to room temperature. Cold cream, a cold bowl, and a cold whisk will give you the most reliable whipped cream.

Do not overheat the cookie butter

The spread should be warm and fluid, not hot. Allow it to cool for a few minutes if it becomes hot during microwaving.

Stop whipping at soft peaks

Overwhipped cream can become grainy and difficult to spread. Stop when the cream holds a soft shape and still looks smooth.

Give the cookies enough time to soften

Two hours is the minimum chilling time. If you prefer a softer dessert with more defined, cake-like layers, refrigerate it overnight.

Keep the dessert refrigerated

This pudding contains homemade whipped cream and should remain refrigerated until it is ready to be served.

Troubleshooting

Why didn’t my cream whip?

The cream or equipment may have been too warm. Use cold heavy whipping cream and chill the bowl and whisk before mixing.

Also check that you used heavy whipping cream rather than half-and-half or a lower-fat cream.

Why is my whipped cream grainy?

The cream was probably whipped for too long. Stop the mixer when soft peaks form and the cream still looks smooth.

If the cream has only been slightly overwhipped, gently fold in one or two tablespoons of cold heavy cream by hand.

Why are the cookies still crunchy?

The pudding needs more time in the refrigerator. Cover it and allow it to chill for another hour or leave it overnight.

Why is the cookie butter difficult to spread?

Cookie butter thickens as it cools. Reheat it in 5-second intervals until it becomes fluid enough to drizzle. Stir after each interval to prevent overheating.

Why is my pudding difficult to cut neatly?

Chill the dessert longer and use a clean, sharp knife. Wipe the knife between portions. Because this is a soft refrigerator dessert, the servings may still be more scoopable than cake-like.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Biscoff cookie pudding ahead of time?

Yes. This dessert benefits from being made ahead because the cookies need time to soften. You can assemble it the night before serving and keep it covered in the refrigerator.

How long does Biscoff cookie pudding last?

Store the pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. The cookies will continue to soften during storage, so the texture will be best within the first two days.

Can I freeze Biscoff cookie pudding?

Freezing is not recommended. Homemade whipped cream can release moisture as it thaws, which may make the layers watery or uneven.

Can I use whipped topping instead of homemade whipped cream?

You can use prepared whipped topping if necessary, but the flavor and texture will be different. Homemade whipped cream gives the dessert a richer flavor and allows you to control the sweetness.

Can I use another type of cookie?

A thin, crisp caramelized or spiced cookie will work best. Softer cookies may become mushy before the layers have time to set.

Can I add cookie butter to the top?

The tested recipe uses all 7 ounces of cookie butter inside the dessert. If you want a decorative drizzle on top, warm a small amount of additional cookie butter and add it shortly before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Biscoff cookie pudding cold, directly from the refrigerator. For a simple finish, top each portion with a whole or crushed Biscoff cookie.

Because the dessert is rich, modest portions work well. A 9 × 13-inch pan produces approximately 12 servings.
