Easy Banana Trifle
I wasn’t sure if anything could top our brownie trifle. It’s been a family favorite of ours for years, but I actually like our banana cream version BETTER. I love banana cream pie, and this has all the flavor, without any of the baking or cooking! No simmering custard or baking a pie. Just layering and stirring.
Ingredients
- We’ll start off with banana cream pudding mix, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir them together until they are smooth. Then add an 8-ounce container of whipped topping (you’ll need to containers of whipped topping—reserve the second one). This will be our base.
- You’ll also need almost an entire 11-ounce box of Nilla wafers.
- Spoon 1/3 of the pudding mix into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish or trifle bowl.
I like this trifle bowl because it comes with a lid. Perfect for storing leftover trifle! It can also be used as a punch bowl.
- Add 1/3 of a container of whipped toping and smooth it on top. Then add a layer of Nilla wafers and a layer of sliced bananas.
- Repeat with pudding, whipped topping, cookies and bananas.
