Fruits Trifle

Ingredients:

For the Layers:

2 cups mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, bananas, kiwi, and peaches)

1 cup sponge cake or ladyfingers (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup vanilla pudding or custard (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

For the Vanilla Pudding (if making homemade):

2 cups milk

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons butter

Instructions:

Prepare the Vanilla Pudding (if making homemade):

In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the milk while whisking to combine.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter. Let it cool.

Prepare the Fruits:

Wash and chop the mixed fruits into bite-sized pieces. If using bananas, slice them just before assembling to prevent browning.

Assemble the Trifle:

In a large glass trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, start by layering the sponge cake or ladyfingers at the bottom.

Add a layer of vanilla pudding or custard over the cake.

Next, add a layer of mixed fruits.

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

Top with Whipped Cream:

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top layer. You can also pipe it for a decorative touch.

Garnish:

Garnish with additional fresh fruits and mint leaves for a pop of color.

Chill and Serve:

Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Enjoy!

This Fruits Trifle is a beautiful and delicious dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!
