Description
Banoffee Icebox Cake is a delightful no-bake dessert that layers creamy whipped cream, sweet dulce de leche, ripe bananas, and Biscoff cookies. This easy-to-assemble pudding-style treat is chilled in the fridge to soften the cookies, creating luscious layers of flavor and texture topped with grated dark chocolate for a decadent finish.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Cream
- 600 mL heavy cream
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
For the Layers
- 380 g dulce de leche
- 4 medium bananas
- 250 g Biscoff cookies
For Garnish
- 25 g dark chocolate
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Pour the heavy cream into a bowl, add the icing sugar, and whisk vigorously until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag for easy layering.
- Prepare Dulce de Leche: Fill a second piping bag with the dulce de leche to make layering neater and simpler during assembly.
- Slice the Bananas: Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick to ensure even layers throughout the cake.
- Start Assembling: Take your serving glasses and pipe a thin layer of whipped cream onto the bottom. Gently shake the glass side to side to spread the cream evenly.
- Add Cookie Layer: Place two Biscoff cookies at the bottom on top of the whipped cream, breaking them as needed to fit the shape of the glass.
- Layer Dulce de Leche and Bananas: Pipe a thin layer of dulce de leche over the cookies, then add 5-6 banana slices evenly across the top.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering in this order—whipped cream, cookies, dulce de leche, bananas—until you reach the top of the glass. The final layer should be whipped cream.
- Chill the Cake: Cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, grate the dark chocolate over the top of each cake for a rich and elegant finish. Enjoy this creamy, indulgent no-bake banoffee dessert.
Notes

- The chilling time is essential as it softens the Biscoff cookies to cake-like texture, transforming the dessert into a pudding-style treat.
- Dark chocolate garnish complements the sweet layers with a subtle bitterness, balancing the flavor profile.
