Banana pudding trifle
(For a quicker version, use instant vanilla pudding or sugar-free instant pudding.)
Makes 16 servings
Ingredients
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups skim milk
2 large egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 (11-ounce) box reduced-fat vanilla wafers, divided
6 bananas, divided
2 (1.4-ounce) English toffee candy bars, crushed, divided
1 (8-ounce) container fat-free frozen whipped topping, thawed
Directions
- In large saucepan, combine sugar and flour. Gradually stir in milk and bring mixture
to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Place egg yolks in small bowl; gradually pour some of the hot custard into the egg
yolks, mixing well with fork. Gradually pour hot custard mixture back into saucepan
with remaining custard, cooking over low heat several minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla. Transfer custard to bowl and allow to cool (can
refrigerate to speed up cooling).
- In trifle bowl or large glass bowl, place one-third of vanilla wafers. Slice 2 bananas
and place on top wafers. Spread one-half of custard on top and sprinkle with one-half
of crushed candy bars. Repeat layers again using all remaining custard and crushed
candy bars.
- Place final one-third of vanilla wafers on top. Slice 2 bananas on top of wafers,
cover with whipped topping. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
