This recipe has been passed down for four generations in my family. I have made it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter since my mom passed. I always am requested to make this dish for every family get together. I always have made this as a trifle until this year when my dish was being used already. I put it in a 9x11 glass dish and it was better than ever. It was much easier to dish out and every portion got each layer. The left over didn't separate and the bananas didn't turn brown. We make this as a side dish but it can also be used as a dessert. Another dis with that WOW factor. You can substitute sugar free ingredients, too.
