Very sweet and chewy. I got this recipe from the recent March/April 2002 "Taste of Home Quick Cooking" magazine. I made it for Easter dessert. I did double the batch and it filled my trifle bowl to the top.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 -4 small firm bananas, sliced
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
1 (12 ounce) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

*Ifyou have no time to bake macaroon mixture, use store bought macaroons instead and crush.
For macaroon mixture, beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until well blended.
Add egg, mix well.

In a 2 1/2 quart bowl, layer 1/3 macaroon crumbs, whipped topping and bananas.
Repeat layers twice.
Sprinkle with reserved crumbs.
Refrigerate or serve immediately.

Tips:

Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your trifle will be.
Use a variety of cookies. You can use all macaroons, or mix and match them with other types of cookies, such as vanilla wafers or chocolate chip cookies.
Make sure your pudding is thick and creamy. If your pudding is too thin, it will make your trifle runny.
Don't over-whip your whipped cream. Over-whipped whipped cream will become grainy and stiff.
Chill your trifle for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.

Banana macaroon trifle is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of bananas, cookies, pudding, and whipped cream, this trifle is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
