Notes

Tips and FAQ's

Layers - You can do a single layer or multiple layers.

DIY? - In this recipe, pretty much everything is store brought but you can make your own biscuits, cake, caramel if you prefer. I have in the past made a genoise sponge for the bottom layer and it was delightful but the idea of this dessert is ease and I don't envision myself doing that again.

Caramel - You can use the Carnation brand or if you prefer make you own. You can also use a thick store brought caramel.

Trifle Container - I used this one but even a rectangular/square dish will work. It will need to be deep though.

Bananas - Use bananas that are ripe but not overly ripe. They need to be firm so bananas with black spots on the outside won't work.

Storage (Fridge/Freezer/Make Ahead) - Store banoffee trifle in the refrigerator right after making. It is best served straight from the fridge and consumed within 2 days. Try not to leave it out for long. This dessert can't be frozen!

Can I make an individual banoffee trifles? Yes you can. You will need approx 10 - 12 small trifle dishes/clear cups.

Can I make banoffee trifle the night before? Yes. 1 day in advance is perfect.
