Method
- In a medium bowl whisk together the ingredients listed under mango pudding. Whisk until smooth. The pudding should start to thicken as you whisk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so it thickens. Make sure you are using instant pudding mix and not cook and serve.
- Whip the chilled whipping cream until soft peaks form. You can use a stand mixer or hand mixer. Don't over whip the cream, it won't fold into the mango pudding as nicely.
- Take about 1/3 of the whipped cream and fold it into the mango pudding. This will lighten the mixture up a bit. Keep the remaining whipped cream for the trifle layers.
- In a trifle bowl start layering your three ingredients. Start with a thin layer of mango pudding. Then add a layer of vanilla wafers. Then evenly spread 1/3 of the mango pudding mix edge to edge. Next layer should be 1/3 of the whipped cream, then drizzle 2 tablespoons of the mango pulp. Then one layer of vanilla wafers. Repeat this layering process until you have the whipped cream layer on top. Crush some vanilla wafers and sprinkle them over, and drizzle over the remaining mango pulp. You can decorate with fresh mango slices or raspberries.
- Chill covered in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving. This can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
Notes
Alternatives and Substitutions. Substitutions for vanilla wafers can me Marie biscuits, digestive biscuits or graham crackers. You just want to use a basic cookie that is butter or vanilla flavored. If you can't find any of these, store bought plain cake or pound cake be used. Just cut it into thin slices.
I used Jello brand instant vanilla pudding mix. If you can't find that, you can use any vanilla flavored instant custard or pudding mix. Juts make sure it is an instant pudding mix and not a cook and serve pudding mix.
Rafhan Custard Instructions. If you are using rafhan custard powder in Pakistan, It will not thicken the mango pudding because it is not an instant custard powder. You will have to change the recipe slightly and make custard following the package instructions. Then add the sweetened condensed milk and mango pulp to that custard once it has cooled. You may not need the whole can of sweetened condensed milk, taste and adjust.
Mango pulp. I use kesar unsweetened mango pulp. I would only recommend using fresh mangoes if you are sure they taste great. Tart mangoes found here in grocery stores don't have the best flavor.
You can make this in a dish if you don't have a trifle bowl. A 9x13 inch dish will get you 2 layers of each ingredients.
