Ingredients:
For the Vanilla Pudding:

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract until thickened. Set aside to firm up in the refrigerator.

4. Spread a layer of vanilla pudding over the biscuits.
5. Add a layer of sliced bananas over the pudding.
6. Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the bananas.
7. Repeat the layers (biscuits, pudding, bananas, whipped cream) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
8. Garnish the top of the trifle with extra banana slices, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
9. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
