A centerpiece dessert, this inventive trifle combines the classic tastes of

ahead of time, but assemble the trifle no longer than 4 hours before
serving.

MERINGUES: In bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks
form;gradually beat in sugar until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla. Onto
a foil-lined baking sheet, spoon mixture into 2 inch rounds. Bake in 250 F
oven for 2 hours. Let cool; break each round into 3-4 pieces. Set aside.
In bowl, whip cream; gradually beat in sugar. Fold in orange liqueur. In
top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water, or in microwaveable
dish, melt chocolate with butter; let cool slightly. Cut bananas into 1/2
inch thick slices.

Spoon one third of the whipped cream into 8-10 cup serving bowl. Cover with
1/3 of the meringue pieces; drizzle with 1/3 of the chocolate. Cover with
half of the bananas. Repeat with whipped cream, meringues, chocolate and
bananas. Top with remaining whipped cream, then meringues, then chocolate.
Refrigerate until serving. Makes 8-10 servings.
