Instructions

1. Prepare the Banana Cheesecake Filling:

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and mashed bananas. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cheesecake mixture.

2. Assemble the Trifle:

Start with a layer of crumbled cookies or cake at the bottom of a trifle dish.
Add a layer of banana cheesecake filling.
Layer fresh strawberries, bananas, and blueberries on top.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with cheesecake on top.

3. Decorate & Serve:

Pipe or dollop whipped cream over the top layer.
Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce if desired.
Garnish with extra fruit.
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving for the best texture.

Notes

For a crunchier texture, use crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers.
You can substitute the banana cheesecake layer with banana pudding for a lighter option.
If making ahead, assemble the trifle up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate.
