Ingredients
  

For the Jelly Layer
  • 2 packets 85g packets of passionfruit jelly crystals
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3 passionfruit, halved
For the Trifle Layers
  • 1/2 packet 460g packet of round double unfilled sponge cakes, cut into 3cm cubes
  • 1/3 cup white rum (optional) Optional for adult gatherings
  • 2 cups double thick vanilla custard
  • 2 large mangoes, sliced
  • 300 ml tub of thickened cream
  • 2 tsp icing sugar mixture Adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1 kiwifruit, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 mango, sliced (for garnish)
  • Passionfruit pulp, to serve

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the jelly: In a heatproof bowl, place the jelly crystals and add boiling water. Whisk until dissolved. Stir in 400ml of cold water, cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until just beginning to set. Stir in the pulp from the halved passionfruits.
Layering the Trifle
  1. In a large serving bowl, arrange half of the sponge cake cubes at the bottom. If using rum, drizzle half over the cake. Spoon over half of the jelly, followed by half of the sliced mango. Top this layer with custard.
  2. Repeat the layering process with the remaining sponge cake, rum, jelly, mango, and custard. Finish with a final layer of mango slices on top.
Chill
  1. Cover the trifle and refrigerate it overnight to allow the flavors to blend.
Whip and Garnish
  1. On the day of serving, beat the thickened cream with icing sugar until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe this cream over the trifle.
  2. Top with slices of kiwifruit, additional mango, and a drizzle of passionfruit pulp before serving.
