Ingredients

For the Pudding:

• 2 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 (5.1 oz) box vanilla instant pudding mix
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Biscoff Layer:

• 1 1/2 cups Biscoff cookies (crushed into crumbs)
• 2 ripe bananas (sliced)

For the Caramel Sauce:

• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream

(Note: The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pudding

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla instant pudding mix, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Once it reaches a pudding-like consistency, cover it and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow it to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Caramel Sauce

In a small saucepan, heat the caramel sauce, butter, and heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and heated through. This will create a silky, pourable caramel sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Layer the Dessert

In a large trifle dish or individual serving cups, start with a layer of crushed Biscoff cookies on the bottom. Follow with a layer of banana slices, then spoon a generous amount of the pudding mixture over the top. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.

Step 4: Add the Caramel

Drizzle the prepared caramel sauce over the top of the pudding layers, allowing it to soak into the dessert a bit. For extra indulgence, sprinkle some additional crushed Biscoff cookies on top.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Cover and refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This allows all the flavors to meld together and ensures the dessert is nice and cold when served.

When ready to serve, enjoy the layers of creamy, crunchy, banana goodness!
