Ripe strawberries, bananas, and chunks of fudge brownies are layered into a Brownie Trifle with vanilla pudding and whipped cream.

Brownie Trifle

I love using these Double Chocolate Brownies for these trifles, but any of these brownie recipes will work great in a brownie trifle.

Homemade Vanilla Pudding, instant pudding from a handy box, or store-bought puddings will all work nicely in this recipe.

Trifles are so versatile, the possibilities are endless here. You can switch up the flavor of pudding, swap in different fruits, drizzle the trifles with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce.

Brownie Trifle Ingredients

• sliced strawberries
• sliced bananas
• brownie chunks
• vanilla pudding: homemade, from a box, or store-bought
• whipped cream

Don’t feel like whipping fresh cream? (I do promise it’s EASY.) Feel free to swap in a store-bought whipped cream or cool whip for an even easier option.

Brownie Trifle Recipe

1. Combine the cream and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat on high speed just until the cream is whipped and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix the whipped cream. Set aside.
2. Layer half of the pudding, whipped cream, bananas, and berries in a large serving dish or individual bowls.
3. Sprinkle half of the chopped brownies on top and then repeat the layers.
4. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.

Banana Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing is a super moist banana cake filled with pecans and then drizzled with a creamy cinnamon cream cheese icing.

It’s delicious, easy, and beautiful to look at to boot!

Banana Bundt Cake

Sturdy enough to slice thick or thin, this banana bundt cake is perfect with a morning cup of coffee, as an afternoon snack, or for a late-night dessert.

I was first introduced to this cake when we visited my sister Jenny for Christmas. She whipped this up one day during our stay and everyone absolutely loved it.

This recipe has been adapted from and with thanks to Taste Of Home via Cooking Classy and my sister’s kitchen.

I’ve made my fair share of banana bread and banana cakes over the years but the bundt form of this cake makes this one really something special!

When people talk about banana bread and banana cake recipes as a way to use up overripe bananas, I have trouble relating. My kids adore bananas and consume countless pounds of them each week. We rarely have any last long enough to overripen!

Typically, when I want to bake something with bananas, I have to plan ahead and hide some bananas so that they’ll have a chance to get a little brown and extra sweet.

In fact, I’ve bought pounds and pounds of bananas this month in attempts to bake and photograph this cake for you but my kids keep finding them and eating them.

I finally lucked out last week when I found several bunches of dark brown bananas at the grocery store. I wasted no time at all in playing with this recipe and baking a few different versions of this cake before my kids could gobble up my materials.

So, I’m excited to finally be able to share traditional and gluten-free versions of this Banana Bundt Cake.

If you’ve followed this blog for a while, you might have noticed that we LOVE banana bread in this house. I’ve made so many different variations on banana bread from Blueberry Coconut Banana Bread to Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Bread to Sour Cream Banana Bread and as much as we enjoy it in all its forms, sometimes you want something a little different.
