Ingredients

Pudding

  • 3 cups whole milk, divided
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ⅓ cup sugar, divided
  • 6 egg yolks
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon gluten free vanilla extract

Whipped Cream Layer

Instructions

  • Place 2 ½ cups milk, cream, 1 C sugar and butter in a heavy saucepan or double boiler and cook until butter is melted and milk is slightly scalded
  • Whisk together egg yolks and ⅓ C sugar then slowly add this mixture to the hot milk mixture, whisking lightly and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes on a low heat until mixture starts to thicken a bit
  • Whisk reserved ½ milk and cornstarch together and add to hot milk mixture slowly, whisking constantly
  • Continue to whisk mixture intermittently & continue to cook for the next 10-15 minutes then set aside to cool inn a seperate bowl.
  • Meanwhile, whip 2 cups heavy whipping cream in a stand mixture until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes, then add powdered sugar and whisk in more until combined.
  • Start building the trifle by placing cookies in one layer on the bottom of the trifle dish, then top with a layer of cooled pudding.
  • Slice bananas and place them slice by slice in a circle sticking them into the layer gently making sure they are stuck well to the inside of the dish so they don't turn brown and then add a layer of whipped cream.
  • Repeat twice (cookies pudding, bananas and whipped cream) then top with some crushed cookies and whole cookies as garnish.
