Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 14 oz can of condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cup cold water
- 5 oz package Jello instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 11 oz chocolate wafer cookies
- 5 ripe bananas, chopped
- 1 box chocolate fudge cake mix
- 3 eggs (for cake)
- 1/3 cup oil (for cake)
Instructions
- Make pudding. In an electric mixer, whisk condensed milk and water until combined. Pour in pudding mix and whisk until pudding is smooth. Pour into a container, seal with a lid, and leave in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight.
- Make cake mix according to the package. After removing from the oven, place on wire cooling racks to cool completely- about an hour. Once cooled, slice into cubes.
- After the pudding is set, make whipped cream. Add heavy cream to the bowl of a stand mixer. Insert the whist attachment and whip the cream on medium-high speed until it starts to thicken into whipped cream. Make sure not to over-whip. You want stiff peaks (when you pull out the whisk, the whipped cream will stand up straight). Remove 1 cup of whipped cream for topping.
- Add chocolate pudding to a small bowl. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding. Once it’s evenly blended, the texture should be light and fluffy.
- Assemble the pudding in a trifle dish. First, spread a layer of pudding. Next, crumble cake cubes over pudding. Add a layer of bananas, then chocolate Oreo cookies. Top with another layer of pudding and repeat the layers in that order, until the trifle is filled.
- Top with extra whipped cream, cake crumbles, Oreos, and banana slices. Chill the assembled banana pudding in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. This will help to soften the cookies and give it time to meld the flavors. Use a large spoon to scoop and serve.
