Itinéraires :
Assemble the Trifle:
In a large dish or clear bowl, create layers starting with a single layer of vanilla waffle cookies covering the bottom.
Prepare the chocolate pudding:
Follow the package instructions to make the pudding using 2 cups of cold milk. Pour it evenly over the vanilla waffle layer.
Add the banana layer:
Layer sliced bananas on chocolate pudding.
Pineapple layer optional:
Spread a layer of crushed pineapple drained over the bananas if you use it.
Add the whipped cream:
Lay fresh defrosted whip (or homemade whipped cream) evenly over the pineapple layer (or banana layer if there’s no pineapple).
Repeat the layers:
If desired, create another layer of each component (vanilla wafers, chocolate pudding, bananas and whipped cream) to fill the dish.
Top It Off (facultatif) :
Garnir la couche supérieure de crème fouettée avec des cerises au marasquin et bruine de sirop de chocolat pour une présentation classique de banana split.
Refrigerate and serve:
Cover the bagged dish with plastic packaging and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors melt and the vanilla wafers soften slightly.
Take advantage of it :
Serve fresh and enjoy this delicious and refreshing bagatelle!
Conseils :
Fresh vs. Frozen Fruit :
You can use fresh or frozen bananas. If you are using frozen bananas, defrost them completely and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the tin
Homemade whipped cream:
For a richer flavor, make your own homemade whipped cream instead of cool whip.
Storage :
Leftover trinkets can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cookies will be sweeter but the flavor will still be delicious.
This no-bake chocolate split trifle is a fun and easy dessert that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
