1. Prepare vanilla pudding Start by preparing the vanilla pudding. In a large bowl, blend the vanilla pudding powder, cold milk and vanilla extract well until the mixture becomes thick. Then, place the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so that it becomes solid. 2. Prepare whipped cream
In a separate bowl, beat the whipped cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff tips form. This cream represents the airy, creamy component of the trifle and goes perfectly with the pudding and bananas. Put the whipped cream aside. Now the fun part begins – the layering of the Trifle! Choose a large bowl or a Trifle bowl to present the dessert. 1 First layer: Start with a layer of crushed vanilla waffles or graham crackers on the bottom of the bowl. This layer provides the necessary crispness and forms the basis of the trifle.
2 Second layer: Now add a layer of prepared vanilla pudding to the crushed waffles. 3 Third layer: This is followed by a generous layer of cut bananas. The bananas give the trifle a fruity note and perfectly complement the creamy and crispy components. 4 Fourth layer: Coat the bananas with a layer of whipped cream to unify the textures and provide an even more airy consistency. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients are consumed. Be sure to finish with a layer of whipped cream to round off the trifle nicely. For the finish, you can sprinkle the trifle with crushed waffles or graham crackers to provide yet another crunch. Also, decorate the dessert with fresh banana slices for a fruity accent. Allow the trifle to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. This time is important for the aromas to mix together and the trifle to get the perfect consistency.
