Banana Pudding Trifle with Nila Wafers
This banana pudding trifle brings back memories of Southern cookouts and family potlucks, where someone always showed up with a big bowl layered with love. I’ve been making versions of this for years, and this one captures everything I love about the dessert—easy to assemble, rich in flavor, and always a crowd favorite.
