Due to my love of layered desserts I’ve been nicknamed by friends the “queen” of trifles. It was only a matter of time until I would turn my passion for trifles into this outrageous banana split extravaganza.
This Banana Split Trifle features layers of pineapple pound cake, vanilla cream, chocolate ganache, strawberries and pineapple are all crowned with whipped cream and maraschino cherries. It’s a dish that dessert fans will line-up to eat.
I have adored trifles from a very young age. The first trifle I ever tried was a classic English trifle using sponge cake layered with vanilla custard and fruit.
I took one look at it siting on the table and thought it was prettier than the floral centerpiece sitting nearby. A dessert trifle was also one of the very first desserts I can recall making as a young “tween” and I was pleased as punch with the results.
