Ingredients

• 400 grams Sponge cake
• 300 grams Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 2 medium-sized Mango, diced
• 3 medium-sized Kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 100 grams Passion fruit pulp
• 250 ml Coconut milk
• 250 ml Heavy cream
• 100 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
• 10 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the sponge cake into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the custard by combining coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 3

Layer the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl or individual serving glasses with a layer of sponge cake cubes.

Step 4

Add a layer of mixed tropical fruits (pineapple chunks, diced mango, and sliced kiwi). Drizzle with passion fruit pulp for added flavor.

Step 5

Pour a layer of the cooled coconut custard over the fruit and sponge cake. Smooth it out with the back of a spoon to ensure even coverage.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process—sponge cake, tropical fruits, and custard—until the bowl is filled, ending with a layer of custard on top.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top and garnish with a few mint leaves for a decorative touch.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld and the custard set.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy your tropical trifle!
