Banana Pudding Trifle — Amazing!

by Dana Patterson on Jul 05, 2012 2

Happy 4th of July!!!!  We’ve had such a great day.  One reason was because of this beauty!!!!

So delishyummysavoryummgood!

I bet you’re wondering how you make it!  It’s so easy and fun!  Trifles are such a great way to serve dessert and a must have in the kitchen.  If you don’t have one, check out the one I have here.

All you need is:
10 bananas
12 oz. cool whip
16 oz. sour cream
1 box instant banana cream pudding
2 cups milk
1 box vanilla wafers
lemon juice to soak bananas

Topping:
few pieces of mint
3 vanilla wafers put in plastic bag, crushed up
a little bit of caramel topping

All you do is:
Mix pudding (I used a hand mixer) with two cups of milk.  Let sit for about 5 minutes.  I started putting the vanilla wafers in the trifle and cut up bananas to soak in lemon juice while I was waiting.

Start off by putting vanilla wafers on the bottom and standing up against the glass.

Make sure you soak your bananas in lemon juice to keep them from turning brown!

Mix cool whip and sour cream in with the pudding after the pudding is set.

Layer the trifle- vanilla wafers, bananas and pudding mix and repeat.  Make sure you put bananas and vanilla wafers up on the side.  It makes it look utterly delish.

layer vanilla wafers, bananas, and pudding mixture

Top with some caramel, crushed vanilla wafers, a few bananas and a couple mint leaves.

There you have it.  A yummy trifle!

My beautiful trifle!

Then, I was hungry later (don’t hate it’s July 4th, my diet went out the window).  I made banana pudding milkshakes!  Take the leftover trife and add a little milk and ice cream.  YUMMMM!

Then, we made banana pudding milkshakes! Take the pudding and mix it with some ice cream, add whip cream and cherries. Chick fil a, you got nothing on us!

These were the perfect ending to a perfect day at the beach spent with the family.

My sweet one on the beach!
