Banana Trifle!

What do I do with all the bananas from the dining hall? Make banana trifle o' course! (did you hear Hagrid in your head when you read that?)

You will need:

1 blender

1 pint of heavy whipping cream

6 sugar packets (easily gotten from B-Caf or any dining hall in the tea section)

1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 box of instant vanilla pudding (or chocolate, or whatever your favorite flavor is!)

1 portable coffee cup of milk from B-Caf (or 2.5 cups of milk procured from another source)

Lots of vanilla wafers! (about three-fourths of the box)

4-5 bananas, thinly sliced

1/2 of a lemon's juice - to mix with the bananas to keep them from getting brown

lemon curd, blackberry jam, nutella

First, make the pudding! Mix the milk and the pudding mix together in a portable container, like an empty yogurt carton or a tupperware. Vigorously whisk the mixture together until it gets thick. Then pop it in your fridge and let it set up.
Next, make the whipped cream! I found out that you can, in fact, make whipped cream with your blender. I put the blender in the freezer to ensure the best whipped cream possible. The cream whips up better when it's blended in a really cold container. Pour the whole pint of heavy cream into the blender. Flip the switch and watch simple cream turn into a tasty treat! Add the sugar packets and the vanilla extract. Keep churning that blender till you have copious amounts of whipped cream.
Break the vanilla wafers up into little bits. Slice the bananas and put them into a bowl.

Now begins the layering process:

vanilla wafers, bananas, pudding, whipped cream, repeat. End with whipped cream and a decoration of bananas on top. We flavored the whipped cream with several different things: for the first trifle, we folded lemon curd and blackberry jam into the cream. For the second batch, we used nutella! YUM.

Enjoy! Very simple and fun to do in your dorm room.
