recipe please

Let me type it up and i will post it on here in a few. Mine doesnt take no where near as many ingredients. It is a recipe I found and tweaked.

 

[Kodeysmom]

crust
2 cups of crushed vanilla wafers.
1/2 cup melted butter
1/3 cup sugar

Filling
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Toppings
I use
bananas-usually 2 or 3 depending on size
can of chunk pineapple-drain all juice and use towel or something to get as dry as possible-or fresh would do great as well
fresh strawberries-have used the frozen as well, 2 boxes or 2 bowls
small bowl of cool whip
Chocolate fudge(chocolate syrup, ganache)-to drizzle on top
maraschino cherries

Mix crust ingredients
Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar-I use electric mixer

I found the best way to layer is start with a thin layer of bananas on bottom this is what i did last time I made it Otherwise the crust gets caked to bottom of trifle and you can't scoop it to serve it. Then put half of the crust mix, spread and flatten out, cover with half of filling mix, layer half of bananas, strawberries, pineapple. Then do another layer of crust, filling and toppings. Top with cool whip, hot fudge, and cherries. Mine come right up to top of bowl.
