How to Make Caramel Cookie Butter Pudding Cups

Ingredients:

1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter
1 cup crushed Biscoff cookies
Nilla wafers or any round vanilla cookies
Extra whipped cream for layering and topping

Directions:

Prepare the Pudding Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Fold in the whipped cream to create a light, fluffy pudding layer. Set aside.
Make the Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar while stirring constantly until it forms a golden-brown liquid. Add the butter and stir until fully melted. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble. Stir in a pinch of salt and allow the caramel to cool for a few minutes.
Assemble the Pudding Cups: Add a layer of crushed Biscoff cookies at the bottom of each cup. Spoon or pipe a layer of the prepared pudding over the cookie crumbs. Add a drizzle of warmed cookie butter, followed by a layer of caramel sauce. Add a layer of Nilla wafers or whole Biscoff cookies. Repeat the layers until the cup is filled, ending with pudding on top.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the top. Drizzle additional caramel sauce for a decorative finish. Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
