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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
