Banana Trifles are one of my favorite types of desserts to make when friends come over or even for a nice romantic date night. The creaminess of the banana pudding, whipping cream added to cake and cookies is just yummy.  However, with all the creamy goodness comes a ton of calories that I don’t like.

So, I decided to come up with a lighter version of the traditional banana trifle.  This is an easy recipe that can be made in a matter of minutes or in advance of a party and by just making a few simple swaps to the recipe, I was able to come up with a delicious and lighter option.

Traditionally a banana trifle is made with pound cake, whipping cream, banana pudding and vanilla wafers.  I swapped the pound cake for my homemade bourbon banana bread and pudding for honey vanilla greek yogurt.  These simple swaps make for a lighter and less sweeter version of a traditional banana trifle without sacrificing taste.

Should you choose you can finish off the dessert with a drizzle of your favorite salted caramel sauce. Once complete I like to chill them in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set the dessert but if you cannot wait grab a spoon and dig in.
