Preparation Time

• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Total Time: 4 hours (including chilling time)
• Chilling: 3 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Layers:

• 300g (about 3 cups) tea biscuits or graham crackers
• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 packets (80g each) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Caramel Topping:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup chopped nuts (optional, for texture)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix with 3 cups of cold milk. Whisk until smooth and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture.
4. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 2: Assemble the Layers

1. In a glass dish (9×9-inch or similar), spread a thin layer of the pudding mixture to prevent the biscuits from slipping.
2. Arrange a layer of biscuits or graham crackers over the pudding.
3. Spread a generous layer of the pudding mixture over the biscuits.
4. Repeat the process until you have 3 to 4 layers, finishing with a layer of the pudding mixture on top.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing the biscuits to soften and absorb the flavors.

Step 3: Make the Caramel Topping

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown.
2. Add the butter and stir until melted.
3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble up, so be careful.
4. Stir in the salt and chopped nuts (if using). Let the caramel cool slightly.
