By hand fold in 1 container of whipped cream. (About 2 cups) 4.In a separate bowl, mix together the sliced fresh strawberries and strawberry pie filling. 5.To assemble in a large trifle bowl or glass bowl, layer ⅓ of the cubed pound cake, top with ½ of the strawberries, ½ of the crushed pineapple, 3 sliced bananas. Drizzle the bananas with ⅓ of the chocolate ganache. Spread ⅓ of the pudding over the chocolate drizzle, then repeat until all ingredients are used ending with pudding. 6.Top with whipped topping and sprinkle with toasted nuts and grated chocolate. Garnish as desired with maraschino cherries. Chill until serving. 7.Just before serving the trifle warm the remaining ganache and serve on the side for drizzling. Notes For a time saver, a vanilla pound cake from your local bakery could be used in place of the pineapple pound cake.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Use ripe bananas with yellow skin and no green tinge. Overripe bananas will brown quickly and have a mushy texture.
  • Chill the trifle before serving: Chilling the trifle for at least 2 hours or overnight allows the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. Try using different fruits, nuts, and sauces to create a unique and delicious trifle.
  • Make it ahead of time: Banana split trifle can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This makes it a great dessert for parties or potlucks.
