How to Make Banana Cream Pie Trifle
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. Break into crumbs.
- While the crust cools, prepare your favorite vanilla pudding according to package directions using 2 cups of milk. Refrigerate until slightly thickened.
- Slice 4 ripe bananas into ½-inch thick rounds.
- In a large trifle bowl or clear glass serving dish, layer half of the cooled crumbs, half of the pudding, half of the sliced bananas, and half of 1 cup of whipped cream.
- Repeat layers: crumbs, pudding, bananas, and whipped cream.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
