Ingredients:
• For the Layers:
• 3 ripe bananas, sliced
• 1 box chocolate pudding mix (or homemade pudding)
• 2 cups whipped cream
• 1 cup crushed graham crackers or chocolate cookies
• Chocolate chips or shavings for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Pudding
- If using a pudding mix, follow the package instructions. For a richer dessert, opt for homemade pudding and let it chill in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Layer the Trifle
- In a trifle dish, begin with a layer of chocolate pudding at the bottom.
- Add a layer of banana slices, arranging them evenly over the pudding.
- Spoon a generous layer of whipped cream over the bananas, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers or chocolate cookies for added crunch.
Step 3: Repeat the Layers
- Repeat the pudding, banana, whipped cream, and crushed cookie layers until the trifle dish is full.
Step 4: Garnish
- Top the trifle with banana slices, chocolate chips, or shavings for decoration. Add a swirl of chocolate whipped cream in the center for a show-stopping presentation.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy the perfect combination of chocolate and banana goodness!
