- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for whipped cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120g) Biscoff cookie butter, softened (for swirling)
For the Layers

- 1 (8.8 oz / 250g) pack Biscoff cookies (about 30 cookies), plus extra for topping
- 1/4 cup (25g) crushed Biscoff cookies (for garnish)

- Drizzle of melted cookie butter
- Caramel sauce drizzle
- Whipped cream dollops

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pudding Base
In a large bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar (if using) and vanilla until soft peaks form.
(This creates that fluffy, creamy “bakery-style” texture.)
Step 3: Combine for Creamy Filling
Fold the whipped cream into the pudding until smooth and airy. Set aside.
Step 4: Prepare the Cookie Butter Swirl
Warm cookie butter just until spreadable (a few seconds in the microwave).
You’ll swirl it into layers for that signature Biscoff flavor.
Step 5: Assemble the Layers
In a trifle dish or 9×13-inch pan:
- Add a layer of Biscoff cookies
- Add a layer of banana slices
- Spread a layer of pudding filling
- Dot with small spoonfuls of cookie butter and gently swirl
Repeat the layers until the dish is full, finishing with pudding on top.
Step 6: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
This softens the cookies into that classic banana pudding “cake-like” texture.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Before serving, top with crushed Biscoff cookies, extra whole cookies, and a drizzle of melted cookie butter or caramel if desired.

- Use ripe (but not mushy) bananas for the best flavor and texture.

- Don’t over-swirl cookie butter—gentle swirls look pretty and keep flavor pockets.
- For cleaner slices, chill well and use a sharp spoon or spatula.
