Banana Chocnut Trifle (from Yummy Magazine)

11.14.2011 by Leah // 3 Comments

Thanks to Yummy Magazine, I was able to make my first dessert last Saturday!   And it was a success!

The recipe is called Banana Chocnut Trifle and it’s from the July 2011 issue of Yummy Magazine (bought on sale):

For this simple recipe, you will need:   4 bananas (cut into 1/4-inch thick slices),  8 large Chocnut (broken into pieces), 3 thick slices pound cake or any leftover cake you have (cut into 1/4-inch cubes), 1 cup whipped cream (we used Nestle cream instead of whipped cream), and 1/2 caramel sauce.

One blooper I made for this recipe:    I decided to make our own caramel sauce by setting into boil 1/3 cup water with 1/2 cup sugar.   I should have put in brown sugar instead of white sugar.   The sauce hardened just a few minutes after being cooled!   We weren’t able to use it, much more get the teaspoon that was stuck in the hardened sugar-water mixture.

Thankfully we have some vanilla ice cream here, which we used instead to add some creaminess and sweetness to our own version of this recipe.

You may choose to arrange the ingredients in a pretty little soup bowl, wine glass or any plain glass.   Start by placing whipped cream on the bottom, followed by the cake cubes, caramel sauce (obviously absent in our recipe), banana slices and Chocnut, until the glass or soup bowl is filled to the brim.  Garnish top with caramel sauce and whipped cream (we put spoonfuls of vanilla ice cream instead).   Chill until ready to serve.

Here’s our improvised Banana Chocnut Trifle – topped with vanilla ice cream:

Me thinks our version turned out better because my mom (who has a discriminating taste in food) loved it, and so did AJ who finished off my share!

Do try it and make it distinctly yours by adding or alternating some ingredients.   We’re thinking strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla next time, hehe!

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
