Chocolate Banana Cream Trifle

Ingredients
18 whole graham crackers (5x2") divided
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 container (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided (I used REAL whipped cream)
1 pkg (3.4 oz) banana cream instant pudding
1 cup milk
1 lemon or 2 tbsp lemon juice
4 large bananas

Directions
1. Finely chop half of graham cracker and set aside. Coarsely crumble remaining crackers.

2. To make ganache’, place chocolate morsels and 1 ½ cups of whipped topping in bowl. Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds or until melted and smooth, stir every 15 seconds. Combine pudding mix with milk and whisk until mixture begins to thicken. Fold in remaining whipped topping and set aside.

3. Juice lemon or measure 2 tbsp. juice. Peel bananas and cut into 1 ½ " slices, add lemon juice and toss gently to coat. Set aside 12 slices for garnish.

4. 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 the sides of bowl. Top with 1/3 of the ganache’ by spooning ganache’ into re-sealable plastic food storage bag. Secure with a large Twixit clip. Trim the corner of bag to allow ganache’ to flow through. Pipe around the inside edges of the bowl, then drizzle remaining ganache’ over the bananas.

5. Spread half 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 the edges of the trifle.
