Ingredients
For the Cake Layer
- Ready-made cake or sponge cake slices
- Mango juice (for soaking)
- Fresh mango, cut into small pieces
For the Cream Layer
- 1 packet Dream Whip
- 1 packet caramel cream (or similar)
- ¼ cup mango juice
- 2 cans table cream (qishta)
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 Kiri cheese triangles (or cream cheese)
For the Mango Topping
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup mango juice
For Garnish
- Fresh mango slices, strawberries, and blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Layer: In a bowl, mix Dream Whip, caramel cream, mango juice, table cream, condensed milk, and Kiri cheese. Beat until smooth and thick. Set aside.
- Assemble the Layers: In a large serving dish or individual cups, start with a layer of cake pieces. Drizzle generously with mango juice and add some fresh mango chunks.
- Spread a thick layer of the prepared cream mixture on top.
- Repeat the layers (cake + mango juice + mango pieces + cream) until you reach the top, finishing with a cream layer.
- Make the Mango Glaze: Mix cornstarch with mango juice in a small pot. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a glossy sauce. Let it cool slightly.
- Pour the cooled mango glaze evenly over the top cream layer.
- Garnish with fresh mango slices, strawberries, and blueberries. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Tips for Success
- Use store-bought sponge cake or ladyfingers to save time.
- Let each layer set slightly in the fridge before adding the next for cleaner layers.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less condensed milk.
- This trifle tastes even better the next day after the flavors meld.
- You can make individual servings in clear glasses for an elegant presentation.
