Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Trifle bowl or individual serving glasses
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 1 18.25 ounce chocolate cake store-bought or homemade
  • 1 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 bananas sliced
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  • Crumble the chocolate cake into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly at the bottom of your trifle bowl or individual serving glasses.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, softened cream cheese, and peanut butter; beat until smooth and creamy, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • Layer banana slices on top of the cake crumbs, spoon the peanut butter mixture over the bananas, and repeat the layers, ending with whipped cream on top.
  • Sprinkle chocolate shavings and peanut butter chips over the whipped cream, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Don't skip the chilling step; it's key to letting the flavors develop. Experiment with different toppings like crushed cookies or caramel drizzle. Double the recipe if you’re serving a crowd. If you have leftovers, store the trifle in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To prevent browning, toss banana slices in a bit of lemon juice before layering.
