Two classic British desserts

This recipe takes two classic British desserts, banoffee pie and trifle, and mixes them together. Banoffee (a portmanteau of banana and toffee) pie is made up of layers of banana, cream, and toffee over a cookie crumble base.

But, if you layer the dessert in a glass serving dish or bowl—you enter trifle territory. Trifles are british desserts that layer of fruit, cream, and sponge cake. Trifles are usually served in a pedastaled trifle bowl, but you can use any deep glass serving bowl or even individual glass dishes.

Our tips for making pineapple-toffee-trifle

Trifle can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge without any problems, which can save some time during the party—allowing you to spend more time with your guests and avoid wasting away in the kitchen.

Do it like our user fatima sameena sharif and get creative to adapt this recipe to your taste. For instance, instead of using pineapple and strawberries, add your own favorite or in-season fruits. Use chocolate, oat, or any other cookies to give your dessert another personal note.
