Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk pudding mix with milk until smooth. Stir in chopped bananas; set aside.

Step 2

Layer half the pound cake cubes, half the pudding, half the whipped cream, and half the crushed vanilla wafers in a trifle bowl. Repeat with the remaining cake, pudding, and whipped cream, and top with the remaining crushed wafers. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over beat, or cream will become lumpy and butter-like.
