Mango Trifle
This easy mango trifle is fresh, tropical, beautiful, and the best part is that it's an easy no bake dessert that is ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 8-10 oz. angel food cake
- 5.1 oz. package coconut instant pudding mix or substitute vanilla
- 3 cups cold milk
- 3 cups diced mangoes about 4 mangoes
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 cup shredded coconut toasted
- 2 oz. white chocolate curls or chopped
Instructions
- Slice angel food cake into cubes and set aside.
- Whisk together instant pudding mix and milk. Set aside.
- Peel and dice mangoes. Toss with granulated sugar and lemon juice and set aside.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the trifle by layering ⅓ of the angel food cake pieces. Spoon ⅓ of the pudding over the angel food cake, followed by ⅓ of the whipped cream.

Notes
Storage:
Cover the leftover trifle with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes:
Tossing the mangoes in lemon juice prevents them from browning.
Mixing the fruit with the sugar helps to draw out the mango juice. If you don't want the juice in the trifle leave out the sugar, but still toss in the lemon juice.
We used mini angel food cakes that were 8oz and filled the trifle fine. You may need less if you use a full size cake. In that case, you can reduce the whipped cream and pudding if desired or make only two layers instead.
The coconut and macadamia nut add a little texture to the trifle and their flavor pairs well with the tropical fruit.
Pound cake would be a great swap for the angel food cake.
