Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Crumble

  • 10 whole Oreos
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Whipped Cream

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Nutella Cream

  • 4 ounces cream cheese (1/2 block)
  • ⅓ cup Nutella (hazelnut spread)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar

Other

  • 2 ripe bananas

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo Crumble: Place whole Oreos including the filling into a large ziplock bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them into crumbs.
  2. Moisten Crumbs with Butter: Transfer the crushed Oreos into a bowl, add melted butter, and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  3. Bake Crumbs: Spread the Oreo crumbs onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes to crisp up. Remove and let cool completely; crumbs will harden as they cool.
  4. Make Whipped Cream: In an electric mixer bowl, beat ½ cup heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Slowly add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, then beat until the cream has more than doubled in volume and holds soft peaks. Be careful not to overbeat to avoid clumping. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  5. Prepare Nutella Cream: Using the same mixer bowl, beat 4 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Add ⅓ cup Nutella and blend thoroughly.
  6. Add Heavy Cream: Slowly pour in ½ cup heavy cream while continuing to beat the mixture until it thickens and increases in volume.
  7. Flavor and Sweeten: Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and ⅓ cup powdered sugar, mixing until light and fluffy. Chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before assembling.
  8. Slice Bananas: Peel and slice 2 ripe bananas evenly for layering.
  9. Assemble the Trifle: Using a piping bag or spoon, layer the dessert elements starting with a spoonful of Oreo crumble at the bottom of each serving dish. Add a layer of Nutella cream followed by a layer of sliced bananas. Repeat the layering of crumbs, Nutella cream, and bananas.
  10. Top and Garnish: Finish with a generous layer of whipped cream. Garnish with a slice or two of banana and a sprinkle of Oreo crumbs just before serving.
  11. Storage: If preparing ahead, store the assembled trifle in the refrigerator without garnish for up to 2 hours. Save half a banana (with peel) to slice fresh for garnish prior to serving.

Notes

  • Do not overbeat the whipped cream to avoid turning it into butter.
  • Baking the Oreo crumbs crisps them up, preventing sogginess in the trifle.
  • Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours best; bananas should be sliced fresh to avoid browning.
  • Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and texture.
  • For easier layering, use piping bags for both the Nutella cream and whipped cream layers.
