    Easy Banana Trifle Pudding Recipe

    I kept this recipe as easy as possible. If you wanted to, you could make banana pudding from scratch with sugar, eggs, flour, and condensed milk. But let's be real - that's a lot of extra work.

    Just make a box of pudding. It tastes just as good as homemade, AND saves you so much time! This banana trifle pudding makes enough for a dozen people, so it's perfect for brunch, birthday parties, potlucks, or those impromptu times when a bunch of friends show up.

    This banana trifle is perfect any time of year whenever people get together! And if you love trifles, don't forget to try our Oreo Trifle too!
