โจ A pudding thatโs incredibly creamy
With sweetened condensed milk, instant pudding, and Biscoff cookie butter, the pudding mixture becomes silky, thick, and luxurious.

The vanilla wafers and Biscoff cookies absorb moisture as they chill, turning into soft, cake-like layers.
โจ Bananas that add freshness
Fresh banana slices add natural sweetness and pair perfectly with caramel and warm spices.
โจ A dessert that improves overnight

This is comfort food… elevated.

๐ฉโ๐ณ Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Biscoff Pudding
In a large bowl, add:
- cold milk/water (start with 2 cups)
- vanilla pudding mixes
- softened Biscoff cookie butter
- sweetened condensed milk
Use a hand mixer and blend on medium for 4โ5 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and smooth. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt, then mix for one more minute.
If the pudding feels too thick, add the remaining liquid a little at a time.
2. Begin Layering the Dessert
Choose a large trifle bowl, deep glass dish, or individual dessert cups.
Start with:
- a layer of vanilla wafers and Biscoff cookies
- a layer of fresh banana slices
- a generous layer of the cookie-butter vanilla pudding
- dollops or a full layer of whipped cream
Repeat these layers until everything is used.
3. Add the Final Touches
Top the final layer with:
- more whipped cream
- crushed vanilla wafers
- crushed Biscoff cookies
- a beautiful drizzle of caramel sauce
This final combination adds crunch, sweetness, and stunning presentation.
4. Chill to Perfection
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, though overnight chilling is ideal.
The flavors melt together, the cookies soften, and the whole dessert becomes a dreamy, creamy masterpiece.
