Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 2 whole Bananas
- 3.4 oz Vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 cups Whipped cream
- 1 pound Sponge cake
- 1 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 3 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them into thin pieces and set aside.
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds. Toss the banana slices with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes, then set aside to thicken (approximately 5 minutes).
Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream into the thickened pudding to create a light, creamy layer. Set aside.
Cut the sponge cake into 1-inch cubes.
In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, begin assembling the trifle. Start with a layer of sponge cake cubes, covering the bottom of the dish evenly.
Add a layer of pudding mixture over the sponge cake, spreading it gently with a spatula.
Layer sliced strawberries and bananas over the pudding, ensuring even coverage.
Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the fruit slices. Smooth it out with a spatula.
Repeat the layering process (cake, pudding, fruit, whipped cream) until the trifle dish is full, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Optional: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar over the top and garnish with whole strawberries and fresh mint leaves if desired.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the textures to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Fantastic Strawberry Banana Trifle!
