Butterscotch Banana Trifle
Butterscotch Banana Trifle is made with vanilla beans, butterscotch pudding, fresh bananas and wafers, and placed in individual glasses. I went for a good old banana butterscotch flavor. As you know, you can’t beat the classic, if its not broken don’t fix it, just improve it. To improve it, I added vanilla bean seeds, for a luxurious vanilla flavor. Then, I topped the trifles with sliced almonds for a crunchy, chewy finish.
