Nutter Butter Banana Trifle

Making this little gem isn't as hard as you think. Even making the pudding from scratch was rewarding.
3 cups milk
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
5 medium ripe bananas
1 (1-lb) package Nutter Butter's
2 cups sweetened whipped cream
Garnishes: Nutter Butter cookies, dried banana chips, fresh mint sprigs.

1. Whisk together first 4 ingredients in a large sauce pan over medium-low heat. Cook, whisking constantly, 12-20 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla until butter is melted.

2. Fill a large bowl with ice. Place saucepan in ice and let stand, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly chilled.

3. Meanwhile, cut bananas into 1/4 inch slices. Break cookies into thirds.

4. Spoon half of pudding mixture into a 3 quart bowl, picture or trifle dish. Top with bananas and cookies. Spoon remaining pudding mixture over bananas and cookies. top with sweetened whipped cream. Cover and chill 2 to 24 hours. Garnish, if desired.


Ok all you lazy bones, yes you could just use instant pudding but trust me, making the real stuff was not that hard!!!!

Here's what you do. Instead of real whipped cream they suggest extra creamy cool whip completely thawed.

Instead of the pudding you just use:
3 cups milk
2 vanilla instant pudding
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat above with an electric mixer for two minutes or until thickened; let stand 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 (80z) container sour cream.

Proceed with rest of recipe.
