INDIVIDUAL BISCOFF BANANA PUDDING CUPS

Pudding base

• 1½ cups (350 g) cold whole milk
• 1 (14 oz / 397 g) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (3.4 oz / 102 g) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups (470 g) cold heavy whipping cream

Layers

• 26 Biscoff cookies (one full package, plus a few extras for garnish)
• 4 large ripe bananas, sliced into ¼-inch coins
• Optional: 2 Tbsp Biscoff cookie butter, warmed for drizzling

For serving

• 8 (8 oz) glass cups, mason jars, or trifle cups

1. Make the pudding base. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cold milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla pudding mix until the pudding powder fully dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Set aside in the fridge to set while you whip the cream, about 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Whip the cream. In a large bowl, beat the cold whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high until firm peaks form. The cream should hold its shape on the whisk and not slide back down.
3. Fold them together. Add the chilled pudding mixture to the whipped cream and gently fold with a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. You want it light and creamy, not deflated.
4. Crumble the cookies. Set 8 whole cookies aside (one for each cup). Crumble 14 of the remaining cookies into rough pea-size pieces in a small bowl. Save the last 4 for the top garnish.
5. Slice the bananas. Cut the bananas into ¼-inch coins right before assembling so they don't brown.
6. Build each cup. Working with 8 (8 oz) cups, layer in this order: 1 Tbsp cookie crumbs at the bottom, 4 to 5 banana slices, 3 Tbsp pudding, 1 crumbled cookie, more banana slices, another 3 Tbsp pudding. Repeat once if your cups are tall enough. Top with a swirl of pudding, a sprinkle of cookie crumbs, and stand 1 whole Biscoff cookie up in the center.
7. Chill. Cover the cups loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight. The longer chill softens the cookies into that perfect cake-like layer (that's the magic moment).
8. Serve. Right before serving, top each cup with 1 fresh banana slice and a drizzle of warmed Biscoff cookie butter if you want to push it further. Eat with a long spoon for maximum dig.
