For the Cream Layer:

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

1. Wash and Slice: Rinse all fruits and pat them dry. Slice the strawberries, kiwis, and mango into bite-sized pieces.
2. Cube the Cake: Cut the sponge or angel food cake into small, even cubes for easy layering.

2. Whip the Cream

1. Combine Ingredients: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

3. Assemble the Trifle

1. Start with Cake: Place a layer of cake cubes at the bottom of a large trifle bowl or individual serving glasses.
2. Add a Fruit Layer: Add a layer of raspberries, followed by mango chunks.
3. Spread the Cream: Gently spread a layer of whipped cream over the fruits.
4. Repeat Layers: Continue layering with cake, kiwi, pineapple, and strawberries, alternating with whipped cream.
5. Top It Off: Finish with a generous layer of whipped cream and arrange a mix of fruits on top for decoration.

4. Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate: Allow the trifle to chill for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
2. Garnish: Add a few mint leaves or extra fruit for a fresh and elegant presentation.

Tips for Success

• Use Seasonal Fruits: Adjust the fruits based on what’s in season for the best flavors and colors.
• Add Layers: Incorporate a layer of fruit jelly or custard for added texture.
