Help! Need New Banana Chocolate Triffle Recipe

[krley]

Can anyone help me? I'm out of town, doing a party and have the wrong season's best with me!! I'm doing a show for my sister and she was going to make the banana chocolate triffle in the new spring 2009 season's best. Can someone post the recipe? or at least the ingredients so I'm sure I didn't miss something?

Thanks!!!

Chocolate Banana Cream Trifle
Recipe


18 whole graham crackers (5 x 2 in.), divided
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
1 pkg (3.4 oz) banana cream instant pudding and pie filling
1 cup milk
1 lemon
4 large bananas



Finely chop half of a graham cracker using Food Chopper; set aside. Coarsely crumble remaining crackers into Stainless (2-qt.) Mixing Bowl.


For ganache, place chocolate morsels and 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping into Small Batter Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 45-60 seconds or until melted and smooth, stirring every 15 seconds. Combine pudding mix and milk in Stainless (4-qt.) Mixing Bowl; whisk until mixture begins to thicken. Fold in remaining whipped topping using Small Mix ‘N Scraper®; set aside.


Juice lemon using Juicer to measure 2 tbsp juice. Peel bananas and cut into 1 1/2-in. pieces using Paring Knife. Slice pieces into Classic Batter Bowl using Egg Slicer Plus®. Add lemon juice and toss gently. Set aside 12 slices for garnish.


To assemble trifle, place half of the crumbled graham crackers over bottom of Trifle Bowl. Place half of the bananas over the crackers, arranging some of the bananas against sides of bowl and top with one-third of the ganache (see Cook's Tip). Spread half of the banana filling over ganache, spreading to edges. Repeat layers one time. Decorate with remaining ganache. Sprinkle top of trifle with chopped graham cracker. Arrange reserved banana slices around edges of trifle.

Cook's Tip: To get a good visual of the ganache layers, spoon ganache into resealable plastic food storage bag; secure with Twixit! Clip. Trim corner of bag to allow ganache to flow through. Pipe around the inside edges of the bowl, then drizzle remaining ganache over the bananas.

FYI- the current and several past SBRCs are available on CC. Go to Products and Recipes > Recipes > Season's Best. On that page, there's a pull down for you to select the version of the SBRC that you want. Then you can select individual recipes and print them out or email them right from there.

That is what we found at our last cluster meeting. I agree you almost have to double it to fill the bowl.

This was our third and final recipe that we made tonight at our team meeting.

Very yummy but a couple of things I'd like to mention. It filled about 2/3 of the bowl so you really need to double the pudding and 1/2 more the whipped cream (but it already is a large Cool Whip so do you really want your host to have to buy a small one as well?).

Also I don't know if the two ladies making this messed up or not but the coarsely chopped graham crackers on the top were too large and too many. They suggested doing about 3/4 (or 12 of them) finely on the bottom and only 6 of them coarsely on the top.

One last thing. In Canada we don't have banana instant pudding - our recipe calls for vanilla pudding. I know I read a thread on here somewhere where they found the banana flavor too strong. I'd recommend to those people to go ahead and use the vanilla. That's how are recipe is and it's quite yummy! I'd definitely make it again exactly as it calls for at home and with the above changes for a demo/presentation.

I am so glad I am reading this thread. I am going to make this for my open house on Saturday so I wanted to make sure I made enough to for everyone. Great tips everyone!
