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 cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Then fold in the whipped cream to make a fluffy pudding layer. Set this aside.
Make the Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly until it turns into a golden-brown liquid. Add the butter and stir until fully melted. Slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously as it may bubble up. Mix in a pinch of salt and let the caramel cool for a few minutes.
Assemble the Pudding Cups: Start by adding a layer of crushed Biscoff cookies at the bottom of each cup. Spoon or pipe a generous layer of the prepared pudding over the cookie crumbs. Follow this with a drizzle of warmed cookie butter and a layer of caramel sauce. Add a few Nilla wafers or whole Biscoff cookies, and repeat the layers until each cup is full, finishing with pudding on top.
Garnish and Serve: Top each cup with a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies and a drizzle of additional caramel sauce. Chill the pudding cups in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving. Enjoy your luscious Caramel Cookie Butter Pudding Cups!
