– 200 grams dark or milk chocolate, chopped
– 1 cup heavy cream
Step-by-Step Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients ready, it’s time to assemble the trifle! Here’s how you can do it in six simple steps:
Step 1: Make the Chocolate Ganache
Begin by preparing the chocolate ganache. In a saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for about 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Layer the Bananas
In a large, clear trifle bowl or individual serving cups, start by placing a layer of sliced bananas at the bottom. This will be the base of your trifle and add a fruity freshness to each bite.
Step 3: Add the Chocolate Ganache
Pour a generous layer of the chocolate ganache over the bananas. Be sure to spread it evenly so that each spoonful of the trifle gets a rich, chocolaty taste.
Step 4: Spread the Whipped Cream
Next, add a layer of whipped cream over the ganache. The whipped cream adds a light, airy texture that balances the richness of the ganache. You can smooth it over with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Step 5: Sprinkle the Graham Cracker Crumbs
Sprinkle a layer of graham cracker crumbs over the whipped cream. This layer adds the much-needed crunch and creates a wonderful contrast to the creamy layers.
Step 6: Repeat and Garnish
Continue layering the ingredients in the same order—bananas, ganache, whipped cream, and graham cracker crumbs—until you reach the top of the bowl. Finish with a final layer of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings and banana slices.
Step 7: Chill and Serve
Once your trifle is fully assembled, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. Chilling the dessert allows the flavors to meld together, and the ganache will firm up slightly, giving the trifle a more structured look. When ready to serve, scoop out generous portions and enjoy!
Tips for Success
– Choose the Right Bananas: Make sure your bananas are ripe but not overripe. Bananas that are too soft may become mushy and lose their shape in the trifle.
