The subtle spice of Biscoff cookies helps to balance the sweetness of each decadent layer of creamy custard and fresh bananas in this tall and impressive banana pudding for a crowd. It's inspired by one made by 2019 F&W Best New Chef Kwame Onwuachi's aunt Yolanda, of Beaumont, Texas, which he tasted on a recent trip to connect with his roots in Louisiana and Texas.

  • Beat together cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Carefully fold in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and pudding mixture until just combined.

  • In separate ziplock plastic bags, coarsely crush 5 vanilla wafers and 4 gourmet cookies; set aside for garnish. Reserve 16 of the remaining vanilla wafers.

  • Arrange another 16 of the remaining vanilla wafers and 7 of the remaining gourmet cookies in a single layer in a 4 1/2-quart trifle dish, alternating vanilla wafer and cookie rows, breaking as needed to fit dish. Place 2 1/2 cups banana slices in an even layer on top of cookies. Spread 3 cups vanilla custard in an even layer over bananas. Repeat layering process 3 times with remaining vanilla wafers, gourmet cookies, banana slices, and vanilla custard. Sprinkle crushed cookies over top layer of custard. Insert reserved 16 vanilla wafers around edge of dish. Loosely cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 12 hours before serving.
