Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- Biscoff Cookies – 200g (about 1 1/2 cups) crushed and whole for layering
- Ripe Bananas – 3 medium, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
- Dulce de Leche – 1 cup, smooth and ready to drizzle
Pudding
- Vanilla Pudding Mix (instant or homemade) – equivalent to 4 servings
- Milk – 2 cups (for preparing the pudding mix)
Topping
- Whipped Cream – 1 cup, freshly whipped
Instructions
- Prepare the Vanilla Pudding: Mix the vanilla pudding according to package instructions or your homemade recipe, using 2 cups of milk. Once smooth and creamy, chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Slice the Bananas: Peel and slice ripe bananas into approximately quarter-inch rounds. This thickness keeps them delicate yet sturdy enough to maintain their shape within the pudding layers.
- Layer the Ingredients: In a serving dish, start with a layer of whole Biscoff cookies. Spoon a generous layer of pudding over the cookies, then add a layer of banana slices followed by a drizzle of dulce de leche. Repeat these layers until ingredients are used, finishing with a pudding layer on top.
- Add Whipped Cream and Dulce de Leche: Spread a thick layer of freshly whipped cream over the final pudding layer. Drizzle additional dulce de leche on top and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies for added crunch.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the pudding and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and cookies to soften to a perfect texture before serving.
Notes
- Choose really ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and softness without mushiness.
- Be generous with dulce de leche between layers to enhance the caramel richness.
- Preparing the pudding a day ahead improves flavor melding and softens cookies perfectly.
- Use freshly whipped cream for a lighter and fresher finish rather than pre-whipped toppings.
- Crush Biscoff cookies by hand to create varied textures in the layering process.
