Mango Lychees Trifle

This is a refreshing summer trifle.  This is one of our favourite at Christmas time when mangoes are in abundance.

Ingredient (serves 6)

¾  cup custard

½ cup whipped cream

1 packet of pineapple flavoured jelly

½ mango, diced into 2cm cubes

12 lychees, peeled and deseeded (use canned if fresh ones are not available)

½ sponge cake, cut into 3 cm cubes

splashes of alcohol eg. Malibu, I used Madeira in these ones

3 strawberries halves as garnish

Method:

1.          Make the jelly the night before.

2.          To assemble, first place a layer of cake, splash on the alcohol, sprinkle the fruits, pour a layer of custard, then scoop in a tbsp of whipped cream.

3.          Repeat the layering.

4.          Top with the strawberries.
