Peel and dice the mangoes into small cubes. Reserve a few slices for garnish, if desired.
Hull and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Mix them in a bowl with granulated sugar and lemon juice, letting them macerate for 10 minutes.
Cut the sponge cake into small cubes, roughly 1-inch in size.
In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, begin assembling the layers. Start with a layer of sponge cake cubes at the bottom.
Pour a layer of vanilla custard over the sponge cake, spreading it evenly.
Add a layer of diced mangoes and macerated strawberries on top of the custard.
Repeat the layers (sponge cake, custard, mangoes, and strawberries) until the dish or glasses are filled, leaving some room on top for whipped cream.
Top the trifle with whipped cream, either piped or spooned on, and garnish with reserved mango slices, a whole strawberry, and mint leaves.
Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
