Mango Trifle

Bring the milk to a bowl. In another steel bowl, whisk the egg yolks and gently add the hot milk into it. Over a double boiler, whisk the (egg yolk & milk) egg custard till it gets thick and coats the spoon

Add the vanilla extract now and allow to cool

When this comes to room temperature, add in the dates syrup and salt. Note: if the dates syrup is added to hot milk it curdles

Mix well and set aside

Now the hard work is done and the fun part of assembling begins

Powder the whole wheat vanilla sponge to resemble breadcrumbs

Cut the mangoes into thin slices

In the serving bowl/cup, start adding the cake crumbs, flatten it out. Add some mango juice to sweeten the sponge & moisten it

Pour a ladle of the English custard and add some sliced mangoes

Keep forming these layers till u reach the top of the bowl

In a transparent glass bowl the triffle layers make such a pretty collage
