Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant banana pudding mix
1 quart cold milk
2 bananas, chopped
4 cups heavy cream
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Whisk pudding mix with milk until smooth. Stir in chopped bananas; set aside.
In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, or cream will become lumpy and butter-like.
Layer half the pound cake cubes, half the pudding, half the whipped cream, and half the crushed vanilla wafers in a trifle bowl. Repeat with the remaining cake, pudding, and whipped cream, and top with the remaining crushed wafers. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Time 1h30m

Yield 20 to 25 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

Two 3.4-ounce packages instant butterscotch pudding
4 tablespoons whiskey, such as Crown Royal, plus more for drizzling
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Half an 8-ounce container mascarpone, softened
1 loaf banana bread, cut into 1-inch-thick cubes
One 9-inch pecan pie, cut into small squares
One 20-ounce bottle caramel sauce
Chopped pecans, for garnish

Steps:

Make the pudding according to package instructions. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the whiskey.
Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, adding the powdered sugar a little at a time. Stir in the vanilla. Whisk the mascarpone to make it light and fluffy. Fold it into the whipped cream. Fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon whiskey.
In a trifle dish or punch bowl, place a single layer of banana bread cubes and zucchini bread cubes into the bottom of the bowl. Drizzle over some of the whiskey to moisten the bread. Spread half the pie squares over the top. Evenly spread half the pudding on top, and then a layer of half the whipped cream. Top with half the caramel sauce. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, topping the whole thing with the chopped pecans. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

Tips:

To make the trifle ahead of time, prepare the cake and pudding layers according to the package directions. Then, assemble the trifle and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the caramel sauce.
If you don't have a trifle dish, you can use a large glass bowl or baking dish.
To make a gluten-free trifle, use gluten-free cake and cookies.
To make a dairy-free trifle, use dairy-free milk and yogurt.

Conclusion:

The banana caramel trifle is a delicious and easy dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its layers of moist cake, creamy pudding, sweet caramel sauce, and fresh bananas, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Plus, it can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights or holiday gatherings.
