Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries
- Bananas
- Vanilla Pudding Mix
- Milk
- Whipped Cream
- Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a medium saucepan, combine your milk and vanilla pudding mix. Whisk them together over medium heat until the mixture thickens, usually about 5 minutes. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
- Cool the Pudding: Once thickened, transfer the pudding to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Slice the Fruits: While the pudding is cooling, slice the fresh strawberries and bananas. Make sure to keep them separate; this will help in layering later.
- Layer the Ingredients: In a large trifle dish or individual cups, start by adding a layer of banana slices at the bottom. Follow this with a layer of pudding, then a layer of sliced strawberries. Continue layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
- Add Whipped Cream: Once your layers are complete, top it all off with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Feel free to get creative and pipe it on for a fancy touch.
- Garnish: For an extra special touch, garnish with a few additional strawberry slices or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for a little crunch.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
