Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Make the Oreo Crust
In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until finely crushed. Mix in the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a trifle dish or individual serving glasses. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

Prepare the Pastry Cream
In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to boil. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let it cool completely.

Brûléed Bananas
Slice the bananas and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Using a kitchen torch, carefully brûlée the sugar until it caramelizes and forms a crispy top. If you don’t have a torch, you can broil them in the oven for a few minutes until caramelized.

Whip the Cream
In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Assemble the Trifle
Layer the Oreo crust, pastry cream, brûléed bananas, and whipped cream in the trifle dish. Repeat the layers until ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
