Is it better to make a trifle the night before?
Yes, absolutely yes. The puddings will set and the cookies or biscuits you add will soak up the flavors and soften a little. Chilling in the fridge covered for dessert is a must. Also saves you time to have a restful dinner and then dessert.
What keeps bananas from turning brown in banana pudding?
The bananas once sliced should have some lemon juice added to them so they are coated to prevent them from going brown. Even only cut the bananas at the last moment.
What can I use instead of Nilla wafers for banana pudding?
If you do not have Nilla wafers or cookies then use finger biscuits or graham crackers or tennis biscuits, any other cookie you prefer.
Will a trifle get soggy overnight?
No the trifle should not go soggy overnight if made ahead of the day. Cover with cling wrap plastic and chill in the fridge. The cookies or biscuits or cake will soak up any liquid that is in the dish. The trifle will only start to go soggy once you start spooning out the pudding. It disturbs the setting of the desserts. Therefore it is only good for the day.
