Wash and hull the strawberries. Reserve a few whole ones for garnishing and slice the rest into thin pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until well combined and stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Cut the sponge cake into 1-inch cubes.
In a trifle dish (or individual serving glasses), start layering the ingredients. Begin with a layer of sponge cake cubes.
Spoon a layer of vanilla custard over the sponge cake, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries over the custard.
Spread a layer of whipped cream over the strawberries.
Repeat the layering process until the dish is full or ingredients are used up. Ensure the topmost layer is whipped cream.
Garnish the trifle with whole strawberries and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
