Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix (serves as the creamy custard base)
- 4 cups cold milk (to prepare the pudding)
- 3-4 ripe bananas (peeled and sliced into thin rounds)
- 2 cups Biscoff cookies (for crunchy layers)
- 1 cup dulce de leche (warmed for drizzling)
Optional Ingredients
- Whipped cream (for topping and lightening the pudding)
- Pinch of sea salt (to enhance the caramel flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: Whisk the vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens and becomes creamy, forming the custard base.
- Slice the bananas: Peel and thinly slice ripe bananas into rounds for layering.
- Layer the ingredients: In a large glass dish or individual cups, start with a layer of pudding, then add a layer of Biscoff cookies followed by banana slices. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
- Drizzle dulce de leche: Generously spoon or drizzle warm dulce de leche over the top pudding layer to add rich caramel flavor and moisture.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled pudding for at least 3 hours to allow flavors to meld and cookies to soften slightly. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream, crushed Biscoff crumbs, and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Layer Biscoff cookies just before serving to keep some crunch.
- Warm dulce de leche gently for easier drizzling and enhanced caramel taste.
- Chill the pudding properly to allow layers to set and flavors to blend.
- Distribute ingredients evenly for a balanced bite every time.
