Dessert Recipe: Banana Cream Trifle Cups #KingsHawaiian

Each of the five of us in our family has a sweet tooth. Okay, we have sweet teeth. We love our sweets, mama loves her chocolate, and we probably take in more than the average daily requirement. Wait, there is no daily requirement?! Well there should be!

We don’t have dessert every night, but when we do the kids look forward to it. They usually ask first thing in the morning, “is today a dessert day?” So they’re whole day is focused around that special treat that needs to satisfy their sweet tooth. I’m working with the King’s Hawaiian brand and I came up with a great dessert recipe to share with all my readers!

I love eating angel food cake. It’s light and airy and has just the right amount of sweetness. King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls are similar in texture, lightness, and sweetness, so I thought I’d make a trifle and substituting King’s Hawaiian for the angel food cake.

Banana Cream Trifle Cups

Makes 8 Cups

8 King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

8 clear 9 oz. plastic cups or glasses

4 bananas

1 3.4 oz. pkg banana cream pudding mix

2 cups milk

1 box mini Nilla Wafers

Cool Whip

–Whisk pudding mix with milk until smooth per box directions. Place in fridge to set.

–Cube each King’s Hawaiian sweet roll into approx. 8 squares. Slice bananas thinly.

–Layer the cup with 4 cubes of King’s Hawaiian, 4 banana slices, 1 tbsp pudding, and 5 mini Nilla wafers. Repeat, but omit the second layer of Nilla Wafers. Dollop a tbsp of Cool Whip and top with 1 mini Nilla Wafer. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

This recipe can be adapted to make strawberry trifles by replacing the fruit and using strawberry yogurt instead of the pudding.  Any way you layer it, it’s quick, it’s easy, it’s scrumptious!
