Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Pound cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Fresh pineapple (diced)
- 2 cups Mango (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup Lime curd
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes (toasted)
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the pound cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple and mango. Toss gently to mix the fruits evenly.
In a separate bowl, prepare the whipped cream. Beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix.
In a trifle dish or a large glass bowl, begin layering the ingredients. Start with a layer of pound cake cubes at the bottom.
Spread an even layer of lime curd over the pound cake cubes.
Add a layer of the pineapple and mango mixture, spreading it evenly.
Top the fruit layer with a dollop of whipped cream, spreading it gently to create an even layer.
Repeat the layers (pound cake, lime curd, fruit mixture, whipped cream) until you reach the top of the trifle dish or run out of ingredients. Finish with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes evenly over the top layer of whipped cream. Garnish with lime zest for a pop of color and extra citrus flavor.
Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Tropical Lime Velvet Trifle!
