Why Mango Trifle?
This layered dessert combines the richness of custard, the fluffiness of sponge cake, and the natural sweetness of mangoes. Unlike traditional baked mango puddings, this no-bake version is a fridge-friendly treat, cool, creamy, and ideal for hot summer days. Plus, it’s fully customizable with add-ins like jelly, crushed biscuits, or even a hint of saffron.
It’s not just one of the easiest mango fruit dessert recipes you can whip up; it’s also a guaranteed showstopper when served in clear bowls or glasses.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the cake base:
-
1 vanilla sponge cake (store-bought or homemade)
-
½ cup mango juice or sugar syrup (to moisten the cake)
For the custard:
-
500 ml full-fat milk
-
2 tbsp custard powder (vanilla or mango flavour)
-
3 tbsp sugar
-
1 ripe mango, pureed
For the whipped cream:
-
1 cup chilled heavy cream
-
2 tbsp powdered sugar
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
For the mango layer:
-
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
-
Additional mango puree (optional)
Garnish (optional):
-
Chopped pistachios or almonds
-
Mint leaves
-
Crushed biscuits or granola
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Prepare the Custard:
In a small bowl, dissolve custard powder in ¼ cup of cold milk. Heat the remaining milk in a saucepan over the Wipro 2000-Watt Induction Cooktop, taking advantage of its precision temperature control to prevent any burning or sticking. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Slowly pour in the custard mix, stirring continuously until it thickens into a smooth custard. Let it cool, then blend in mango puree for a fruity twist.
-
Whip the Cream:
Using a chilled bowl and whisk, beat the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Chill until needed.
-
Slice and Soak the Cake:
Cut your sponge cake into cubes. Lightly brush or dip each piece in mango juice or syrup to keep them moist and flavourful.
-
Assemble the Trifle:
In a large glass trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, begin layering:
-
Sponge cake cubes at the bottom
-
A layer of mango custard
-
A handful of diced mangoes
-
A layer of whipped cream
Repeat the layers once or twice more depending on your bowl size. Top with mango puree and your favourite garnish.
-
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. The flavours will meld together, and the texture becomes rich and indulgent.
Tips for Perfect Mango Trifle:
-
Choose ripe, sweet mangoes like Alphonso or Kesar for the best taste and texture.
-
Chill the custard and cream before assembling for neat, defined layers.
-
For a healthier version, substitute whipped cream with Greek yogurt and reduce the sugar content.
-
Add a surprise crunch with a biscuit or granola layer between custard and cream.
Why This Mango Pudding Recipe Stands Out:
There are plenty of mango pudding recipes, but what makes this one special is the contrast of textures and vibrant presentation. It’s a crowd-pleaser that feels both luxurious and nostalgic, with the mango adding a tropical twist that’s hard to resist. Plus, it’s easy to prepare in advance, making it perfect for parties, summer brunches, or festive family dinners.
