INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Prepare the Mango Custard:

- In a small bowl, mix custard powder with  ¼ cup milk to form a smooth paste.  

- In a saucepan, heat the  remaining milk  and  sugar  on medium flame until warm (do not boil).  

- Slowly whisk in the custard paste, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.  

- Cook for  5–7 minutes  until the custard thickens (coats the back of a spoon).  

- Remove from heat, stir in  mango puree , and let it cool completely (cover with cling film to prevent a skin).  

2. Prepare the Whipped Cream (if homemade):

- Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for 10 mins.  

- Whip  1 cup cold heavy cream  +  2 tbsp powdered sugar  until stiff peaks form.  

3. Assemble the Trifle:

In a  trifle bowl  or individual glasses, layer in this order (repeat layers as desired):  

1.  Base:Sponge cake cubes or crushed cookies.  

2. Layer 2:Whipped cream.  

3. Layer 3: Diced mangoes.  

4. Layer 4: Mango custard.  

- Repeat until the bowl is full, ending with a top layer of whipped cream, mango chunks, and garnish (nuts/fruits).  

4. Chill & Serve:  

- Refrigerate for  at least 2 hours (overnight for better flavor).  

- Serve cold and enjoy!  

 Tips for Success: 

- Mangoes: Use ripe, sweet mangoes (Alphonso, Kesar, or Ataulfo).  

- Texture:For a thicker custard, increase custard powder by ½ tbsp.  

- Shortcut: Use store-bought custard or whipped cream to save time.  

- Variations:Add jelly cubes, chia pudding, or coconut flakes for extra layers.
