Instructions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the gelatin in cold water as per the package instructions. Allow it to soften for about 5-10 minutes.
Step 2
In a dry skillet, lightly toast the powdered milk over medium heat until it becomes fragrant. Remove from heat and use a blender to grind it into a fine powder.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, add the plant-based milk, toasted powdered milk, and cornstarch. Whisk thoroughly until everything is well combined without lumps.
Transfer this mixture to a saucepan and heat gently over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens.
Step 4
In a separate small saucepan, heat the soaked gelatin over low heat until it’s completely dissolved. Avoid boiling.
Once the pudding mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat and carefully stir in the dissolved gelatin. Adjust sweetness by adding tubers syrup to taste.
Step 5
To assemble your dessert, start by placing a layer of the brownie cookies into a serving dish. Next, add a layer of the banana pudding over the cookies.
Repeat the layering until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until set.
Step 6
If you prefer a decorative touch, consider toasting some coconut sugar and using a kitchen torch to create a caramelized crust on top of your pudding before serving.
This step is optional, but it can enhance both the flavor and appearance of your dessert.

When it comes to serving your scrumptious No-Bake Caramel Banana Pudding, think outside the box! Layer your pudding in individual glasses for a chic presentation at dinner parties.

Variations
If you have dietary preferences or restrictions, no worries! Here are some easy variations to make this recipe cater to everyone’s tastes!
Gluten-Free Option: Simply use gluten-free chocolate cookies in place of the regular ones. They’ll maintain the delicious layers and flavors without any gluten! Most health food stores offer great gluten-free brownie cookie options. 🍪
Vegan Option: Since this recipe is already based on plant milk and has no eggs, just ensure you use vegan jelly or agar-agar instead of gelatin, and you’re all set! This will keep your pudding creamy and delicious while remaining fully plant-based. 🌱
Faq
- What can I use instead of gelatin if I want my pudding to be vegan?
Great question! You can replace gelatin with agar-agar, a plant-based gelling agent, to achieve a similar texture. Just follow package instructions for use.
- How do I know when my pudding has thickened enough?
Your pudding is ready once it coats the back of a spoon. It should be thick enough to leave a trail when you run your finger through it!
- Can I prepare the pudding a day in advance?
Absolutely! This pudding is perfect for making ahead of time. Just store it in the fridge and allow the flavors to meld together – it will taste even better!
- Can I use other fruits besides bananas?
Of course! You can mix it up with fruits like strawberries, mangoes, or even blueberries for a fun twist! Just remember to adjust the layering accordingly!
- What if my pudding turns out too thick?
If your pudding is too thick, try adding a splash of more plant-based milk to loosen it up. Stir gently until you reach your desired consistency.
- How do I make sure my pudding layers hold up well?
To ensure clean layers, let each layer set a bit in the refrigerator before adding the next. This helps keep your beautiful layers intact!
