Banana Chocolate Trifle

 

Banana Chocolate Trifle 🍌✨

This indulgent dessert features layers of fresh banana, rich chocolate ganache, fluffy whipped cream, and a crunchy cookie crumble. Perfect for any occasion, this trifle is as delicious as it is beautiful!

Ingredients:

4 large bananas, sliced

2 cups chocolate ganache (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups whipped cream (fresh or from a can)

1 ½ cups crushed chocolate or vanilla cookies (e.g., Oreos or digestive biscuits)

1 tablespoon cocoa powder or chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Layers:

Slice the bananas into even rounds and set them aside.

If making your own chocolate ganache, combine 1 cup of heavy cream and 8 oz of chocolate (semi-sweet or dark) in a bowl. Heat the cream until it begins to simmer, then pour it over the chocolate and stir until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly.

Whip the cream until soft peaks form.

Assemble the Trifle:

In a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start by layering the crushed cookies as the base.

Add a layer of sliced bananas on top of the cookie crumble.

Spoon a layer of chocolate ganache over the bananas, spreading evenly.

Follow with a generous layer of whipped cream, smoothing it out.

Repeat the Layers:

Repeat the layers, alternating between cookies, bananas, ganache, and whipped cream until the dish is filled or all ingredients are used up. Aim for at least two or three layers of each.

Garnish and Chill:

Finish the top layer with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a few extra banana slices for decoration.

Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve chilled, and enjoy the deliciously rich and creamy layers of banana, chocolate, and whipped cream in every bite!

Notes:

For added texture, you can use different types of cookies like graham crackers or add nuts in between the layers.

Make this dessert ahead of time for stress-free entertaining—it gets even better as it sits!
