Nutritional Benefits:
Cookie pudding is a good source of carbohydrates and proteins due to the milk and cookies content. Additionally, the cream adds a touch of healthy fats. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your preferences to achieve a less sweet or creamier dessert.

Step-by-Step Preparation Technique

1. Preparing the Pudding:
In a medium pot, pour 1 liter of milk and add the 6 tablespoons of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Once the milk begins to boil, add the instant pudding and mix well according to the package instructions. Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to set.

2. Preparing the Cookies:
In a bowl, pour 250 ml of cooled coffee. Dip each cookie in the coffee, ensuring they do not become too soft – you want to keep their texture.

3. Assembling the Dessert:
In an oval dish or serving container, start layering alternating layers of pudding and cookies. Begin with a layer of pudding, followed by a layer of coffee-soaked cookies. Continue alternating layers until you finish the ingredients, ending with a layer of pudding. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and let it cool in the refrigerator for about an hour.

4. Decorating and Serving:
Before serving, whip the cold cream in a bowl until it becomes stiff. Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue whipping until well incorporated. You can pour the cream over the pudding or serve it separately, allowing everyone to add as much as they like.

5. Unmolding the Pudding:
Once the pudding has set, fill a bowl with warm water (without introducing liquid into the pudding). Place the pudding mold in the warm water for a few minutes, then carefully invert the dessert onto a serving plate.

Serving Suggestions:
To add a personal touch, you can garnish the pudding with grated chocolate, chopped nuts, or fresh fruits such as strawberries or raspberries. This not only enhances the presentation but also adds an explosion of flavors.

Possible Variations:
- You can experiment with different pudding flavors, such as chocolate or vanilla, to diversify the dessert.
- Replace plain cookies with cocoa cookies or vanilla-flavored cookies for an interesting twist.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can I use plant-based milk?
Absolutely! Almond or soy milk works great in this recipe.

2. How do I keep the pudding longer?
The pudding stores well in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap. It can last up to 3 days.

3. Can I add other ingredients?
Certainly! You can add vanilla extract or a splash of rum for extra flavor.

4. Is it suitable for children?
