· Spoon a layer of vanilla custard over the mango puree, spreading it out gently.
· Repeat the layers until the glass or bowl is almost full, alternating between cake cubes, mango puree, and custard.
· Finish by topping the trifle with a dollop of fresh cream and whipped cream for added indulgence.
