Questions about Vanilla wafer cookie
How do you use vanilla wafer cookies in banana pudding?
Layer them with sliced banana and vanilla custard, then chill for at least 4 hours so the biscuits soften into the pudding. Add a fresh layer on top just before serving if you want some crunch.
Can you use vanilla wafer cookies for a cheesecake or pie crust?
Yes. Crush 200 g of biscuits finely, mix with 85 g melted butter, then press into a tin and bake at 175 °C for 8–10 minutes. Cool the base before adding the filling.
How should you store vanilla wafer cookies so they stay crisp?
Keep them in an airtight tin or container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and strong-smelling foods. Once opened, fold the packet tightly before sealing it inside the container.
What can you use instead of vanilla wafer cookies in a dessert?
Plain tea biscuits work well in layered puddings and crumb bases; add a little vanilla to the custard if you want to keep the flavour. Shortbread gives a richer, more buttery base.
Are vanilla wafer cookies the same as vanilla sandwich cookies?
No. Vanilla wafer cookies are usually thin, crisp biscuits without a filling, while vanilla sandwich cookies have a cream layer between two biscuits. Sandwich cookies are also lower in fat per 100 g: 10.4 g compared with 16 g.
