Instructions
- Begin by preparing your baking dish. You'll need a 20x30cm dish that's at least 6cm deep, or use an adjustable baking frame set to these dimensions.
- Arrange a layer of vegan butter cookies on the bottom of your prepared dish, covering it completely. Break cookies if necessary to fill gaps.
- In a large saucepan, whisk together half of the oat milk (800ml), 80g sugar, and the 3 packages of chocolate pudding powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to bubble.
- Remove the chocolate pudding from heat and stir in 50g of shredded coconut. Quickly pour this mixture over the cookie layer, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Once the chocolate layer has cooled slightly, add another layer of vegan butter cookies on top of it.
- Now, prepare the vanilla pudding. In another saucepan, whisk together the remaining oat milk (800ml), the remaining 80g sugar, and the 3 packages of vanilla pudding powder. Cook as you did with the chocolate pudding until thick and bubbly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 50g of shredded coconut. Pour this mixture over the second cookie layer, spreading it evenly.
- Add a final layer of vegan butter cookies on top of the vanilla pudding layer.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan whipped cream with the whipped cream stiffener. Whip according to package instructions until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the final cookie layer.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap, making sure it doesn't touch the cream layer, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, dust the top lightly with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
- To serve, cut into bars and enjoy! These bars are best served cold and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Let each pudding layer cool 2–5 minutes before adding the next cookie layer so the cookies don’t sink.
- Keep whisking while cooking pudding to prevent lumps and sticking on the bottom.
- For super clean slices, chill overnight and cut with a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
- If your cookie layer shifts while spreading, add cookies first, then spoon pudding in small dollops and spread gently.
- Dust cocoa right before serving so it stays dry and pretty.
