Banana Caramel Trifle

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 60g butter, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 450g Madeira cake (try banana cake?)
  • 1 cup vanilla custard
  • 4 bananas, halved, sliced diagonally
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate sprinkles

Method

  1. Combine sugar, cream, butter and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until sauce comes to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Pour caramel into a heatproof bowl or jug. Refrigerate until cool and thickened.
  2. Trim brown edges from all sides of cake and discard. Cut cake into 1cm-thick slices. Using a 4cm star biscuit cutter, cut 2 stars from each slice of cake.
  3. Place half the stars in bowls. Drizzle over half the custard. Top with half the banana. Drizzle over 2 tablespoons caramel. Sprinkle over half the chocolate sprinkles. Repeat with remaining stars, custard, banana and caramel.
  4. Top with remaining chocolate sprinkles and serve.
