Mango and Coconut Trifle Pudding

Coconut and Mango..two great tropical products that actually work really well together. Thought of adding a coconut twist to a personal favourite..trifle. Trifle pudding is one of the greatest deserts of all time in my opinion, simply because u can add anything to it and it still tastes great..I made mine in individual glasses, you can make this in a big pudding bowl. I used store bought sponge cake, just sprinkle some mango juice/coconut milk/plain milk when making the layers so that the cake stays moist ..yum !


Ingredients (serves 6)

2 mangoes, peeled and chopped finely
Vanilla sponge cake (approx 250 gms)

For the pudding
1/2 litre skimmed milk
4 cups vanilla custard powder ,dissolved in 3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup coconut powder (dessicated coconut)
3/4 cup sugar

1. Heat the milk to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the dissolved custard powder.
2. Stir with a whisk to and let the mixture simmer on a reduced flame.
3. After the milk thickens, add the sugar and coconut powder ,simmer for 2-3 minutes ,stirring continuously.
4. Turn off the gas and cool.
5. To assemble the pudding, make alternate layers of cake,mango and pudding, finishing with mango on top. You can soak the cake with a little mango juice or even coconut milk to make it more moist.
6. Make as many or as little layers as you prefer...chill for 2-3 hours at least before serving.
