Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, sliced

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/8 teaspoon salt

4 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pudding Base: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined.

    Add the Milk: Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it begins to thicken and bubble, about 8-10 minutes.

      Infuse Flavor: Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well for an even flavor distribution.

        Layer the Bananas: In a trifle dish or individual dessert cups, start layering by placing a layer of the banana slices on the bottom. Pour a layer of the chocolate pudding over the bananas. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.

          Make Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

            Top It Off: Spread the whipped cream generously over the top layer of pudding. For an elegant touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for garnish.

              Chill and Serve: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the pudding to set. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful layers of chocolate and banana!
