Ingredients

1 9x13-inch cake (store-bought or homemade) chocolate cake
2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
4 cups milk
4 large bananas
3 cups (prepared or store-bought) whipped cream
1 cup mini chocolate chips
0.5 cup chocolate sauce

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the instant chocolate pudding by whisking the pudding mix with cold milk in a medium-sized bowl. Let it set in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 2

Cut the chocolate cake into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds.

Step 4

In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, begin layering the dessert. Start by placing a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom of the dish.

Step 5

Spread a layer of chocolate pudding (about 1/3 of the pudding mixture) over the cake cubes.

Step 6

Add a layer of banana slices on top of the pudding.

Step 7

Spread a layer of whipped cream (about 1/3 of the whipped cream) over the bananas.

Step 8

Sprinkle a handful of mini chocolate chips over the whipped cream layer.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process (cake, pudding, bananas, whipped cream, and mini chocolate chips) until all ingredients are used or the bowl is full, ending with a whipped cream layer on top.

Step 10

Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top layer of whipped cream in a decorative pattern.

Step 11

Garnish with additional banana slices, mini chocolate chips, or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.

Step 12

Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
