Make this delicious trifle dessert the next time that you have company. You could make it even easier by using a store bought cake to save you time ad trouble!
1 Yellow Cake Mix or Angel Food Cake Mix
1 large box Banana Pudding
3 large bananas, sliced
1 ½ c. sliced fresh strawberries
1 ½ - 2 c. chopped fresh pineapple (or 6 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained)
1 tub Cool Whip, thawed
1 jar Maraschino cherries, drained and diced
½ c. pecans, chopped
¼ c. chocolate syrup
Prepare the cake. Cool completely before assembling the dessert.
Cut cake into bite-sized pieces. Prepare the pudding mix.
In a trifle dish or large salad bowl, break up the bite-size pieces, using half of the cake for the first layer. Top the cake pieces with half of the pudding, half of the bananas, half of the strawberries, half of the pineapple, half of the Cool Whip, half of the cherries, half of the chocolate syrup and half of the nuts.
Repeat all these steps with the remaining ingredients in the same order. Chill until ready to serve.
Don’t allow the pudding to set completely before assembling so it will work its way in between the cake pieces before it sets.
10-12 servings
