1. Prepare the chocolate pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the
instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until it
starts to thicken. Set aside.

2. Prepare the whipped cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream,
powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

3. Assemble the trifle: In a large trifle dish or individual serving
glasses, layer the ingredients as follows:

– Start with a layer of crushed graham crackers.

– Add a layer of chocolate pudding.

– Add a layer of sliced bananas.

– Add a layer of whipped cream.

4. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the trifle dish, finishing
with a layer of whipped cream.

5. Top the trifle: Sprinkle chocolate chips and halved maraschino cherries
on top of the whipped cream layer. Drizzle with chocolate syrup.

6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow
the flavors to meld.
