Ingredients

• 400 grams sponge cake (store-bought or homemade)
• 250 grams strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 150 grams blueberries
• 150 grams raspberries
• 1 medium mango, diced
• 150 ml orange juice
• 500 ml vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
• 300 ml heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the sponge cake into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2 cm in size.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the orange juice with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Lightly drizzle this mixture over the sponge cake cubes to moisten them slightly.

Step 3

Whip the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Step 4

Begin assembling the trifle in a large glass trifle bowl or individual serving glasses.

Step 5

Create the first layer by spreading an even layer of sponge cake cubes at the bottom of the bowl.

Step 6

Add a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a layer of vanilla custard. Use a spatula to spread the custard evenly.

Step 7

Continue layering by adding a layer of blueberries, another layer of sponge cake, and then diced mango and raspberries.

Step 8

Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of whipped cream on top.

Step 9

Decorate the top of the trifle with additional berries and mint leaves, if desired.

Step 10

Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing Summer Trifle!
