Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9x13-inch cake (store-bought or homemade) chocolate cake
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups milk
- 4 large bananas
- 3 cups (prepared or store-bought) whipped cream
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chocolate sauce
Instructions
Prepare the instant chocolate pudding by whisking the pudding mix with cold milk in a medium-sized bowl. Let it set in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Cut the chocolate cake into small, bite-sized cubes.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.
In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, begin layering the dessert. Start by placing a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom of the dish.
Spread a layer of chocolate pudding (about 1/3 of the pudding mixture) over the cake cubes.
Add a layer of banana slices on top of the pudding.
Spread a layer of whipped cream (about 1/3 of the whipped cream) over the bananas.
Sprinkle a handful of mini chocolate chips over the whipped cream layer.
Repeat the layering process (cake, pudding, bananas, whipped cream, and mini chocolate chips) until all ingredients are used or the bowl is full, ending with a whipped cream layer on top.
Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top layer of whipped cream in a decorative pattern.
Garnish with additional banana slices, mini chocolate chips, or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
