Banana Split Trifle

The story goes that the first banana was served by a pharmacist apprentice in 1904 at a soda fountain in La Trobe, Pennsylvania. It only cost 10 cents (although this was twice the price of other Sundays offered at the time) and quickly gained popularity. This combination of split banana, ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, nuts, and cherries on top is an American blend just like the desserts. And while we don’t think there’s any need to play with tradition, we wanted to try this American classic in trivial form. And boy, are we glad we did!

This easy trifle contains all the flavors of a banana split, plus a few new additions. Layers of soft cake with banana pudding and fresh banana, and there is also a layer of whipped cream, cherries, strawberries, sticky chocolate sauce, and chopped pecans. That’s a lot of delicious in one dish. So give in to some traditional touches and try this bugger today!

Let’s get to the recipe.
