Ingredients

For the Pudding:

3 (1 oz.) boxes vanilla instant pudding mix (or 1 large 3 oz. box)
2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter, softened
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2-3 cups VERY COLD filtered water (or milk for a creamier version)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt

For the Layers:

4 organic bananas, sliced
1 (11 oz.) box organic vanilla wafer cookies
1 (8 oz.) package Biscoff cookies, semi-crushed (leave some whole and some crushed)
2-3 cups whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

For the Toppings:

Whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
Crushed Biscoff cookies
Crushed organic vanilla wafer cookies
Caramel sauce for drizzle (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

To Make the Cookie Butter Vanilla Pudding:

In a mixing bowl, using a hand-mixer, combine the very cold water (or milk), vanilla pudding mixes, Biscoff cookie butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Mix on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes until smooth and thickened. The mixture should resemble a creamy pudding consistency.
Add in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt, then continue mixing for another minute to incorporate all ingredients.

To Assemble the Pudding:

In a trifle bowl or your preferred dish, layer the vanilla wafer cookies and Biscoff cookies, followed by sliced bananas and the pudding mixture.
Add a few dollops of whipped cream and continue layering until all ingredients are used up.
Garnish the top with whipped cream, crushed vanilla wafers, crushed Biscoff cookies, and a drizzle of caramel sauce (if desired).
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 4 hours before serving—overnight is best to allow all the flavors to meld together.

Variations

Use Milk: For an extra creamy pudding, substitute water with whole milk or half-and-half.
Add More Toppings: For extra flavor, top the pudding with chopped Biscoff cookies, extra caramel drizzle, or even chocolate shavings.
Banana Substitute: If you’re not a fan of bananas, try adding strawberries, raspberries, or even peaches for a fruity twist.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Store any leftover pudding in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The texture may change as the cookies soak in the pudding, so it’s best to enjoy it within a few days.
Reheating: This dessert is best served cold and doesn’t require reheating. Just keep it chilled and enjoy it directly from the fridge!
