Provided by Pamela

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanuts (optional)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant banana pudding mix
2 cups milk
6 medium bananas
4 cups nutri whip non-dairy whipped topping or 4 cups Cool Whip

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together flour and sugar.
  • Cut in butter until crumbly (Stir in peanuts if using).
  • Press mixture into a 9 inch square baking dish and Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden.
  • Stir to break up into crumbs and cool completely.
  • Prepare pudding as directed using the 2 cups milk.
  • In a glass bowl, sprinkle half of the cooled crumbs on the bottom.
  • Top with half of the pudding, half of the bananas, and half of the whip cream.
  • Repeat layers.
  • Cover and refridgerate for 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your trifle will be.
  • Use a sturdy trifle dish: A trifle dish is typically made of glass or crystal and has a wide base and narrow top. This shape helps to keep the layers of the trifle separate.
  • Make the custard ahead of time: The custard needs to chill for at least 2 hours before it can be used. You can make it up to 2 days ahead of time.
  • Don't overbeat the whipped cream: Overbeaten whipped cream will become grainy and stiff. Beat it just until soft peaks form.
  • Layer the trifle carefully: Start with a layer of cake, then a layer of custard, then a layer of bananas, and so on. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the trifle dish.
  • Chill the trifle before serving: This will help the layers to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This easy banana cream trifle is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and can be easily assembled in advance. The combination of bananas, custard, and whipped cream is sure to please everyone.
