Ingredients:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream (whipped)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 store-bought pound cake (or sponge cake), cut into cubes
  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crushed vanilla wafers (optional, for added crunch)
  • Fresh whipped cream for topping
  • A few banana slices and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Follow the package instructions for setting the pudding, and allow it to chill for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the set vanilla pudding to create a lighter, creamier texture.
  3. Assemble the Trifle: In a large glass trifle dish or individual serving glasses, begin layering the dessert:
    • First, add a layer of cubed pound cake or sponge cake at the bottom of the dish.
    • Next, spoon a generous layer of the vanilla pudding mixture over the cake.
    • Add a layer of fresh banana slices on top of the pudding.
    • If desired, sprinkle a few crushed vanilla wafers over the bananas for added texture.
    • Repeat the layers, finishing with a top layer of pudding and a dollop of whipped cream.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, garnish with fresh banana slices and a few mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness.
  5. Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy the layers of creamy pudding, sweet bananas, and light, spongy cake in every spoonful! Perfect for any gathering or just as a special treat after dinner.
