Notes
For a twist, try using chocolate or banana pudding mix instead of vanilla.
Add a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers between the layers for extra crunch.
Ensure the bananas are ripe but firm to hold up well in the trifle.
To save time, you can use store-bought whipped cream instead of making your own.
Customize by adding layers of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra flavor.
