🍓🍌 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 medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt until well combined and free of lumps. Gradually pour in the milk while continuously whisking to ensure a smooth and lump-free mixture.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon, until it thickens and reaches a gentle boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently stir in the vanilla extract and butter until fully incorporated and smooth. Let it cool.
Prepare the Fruits:
Thoroughly wash the mixed fruits and chop them into bite-sized pieces for easy serving and eating. 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.
Continue layering the ingredients until you reach the top of the bowl, ensuring the final layer is a generous topping of whipped cream.
Top with Whipped Cream:
Continue layering the ingredients until you reach the top of the bowl, ensuring the final layer is a generous topping of whipped cream. 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 let the flavors blend and develop fully. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Enjoy!
This Fruits Trifle is a beautiful and delicious dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!
