Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chocolate pudding prepared and thickened
  • 1 cup mango slices fresh or thawed frozen mango
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream for whipped cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for sweetening whipped cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional, for flavor
  • a handful candy eyes and sprinkles decorative toppings
  • a pinch edible glitter for shimmer

Equipment

  • Large glass trifle dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Begin by preparing your whipped cream: pour heavy cream into a mixing bowl, add powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat with a whisk or mixer until soft peaks form and it becomes fluffy.
  2. Slice your mango into thin, bright pieces and set aside for layering.
  3. Using a spatula, gently fold the prepared whipped cream into the chocolate pudding to create a light, airy mixture that holds its shape.
  4. Start assembling the trifle by spooning a layer of the pudding mixture into the bottom of your clear glass dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  5. Add a layer of mango slices on top of the pudding, spreading them out to cover the surface.
  6. Repeat the layering process: add another layer of pudding, followed by more mango slices, until the dish is filled, finishing with a pudding layer on top.
  7. Cover the assembled trifle with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the layers to set and flavors to meld.
  8. Once chilled, decorate the top of the trifle with candy eyes, sprinkles, and a light sprinkle of edible glitter for a spooky, festive look.
  9. Serve your colorful Halloween trifle chilled, and enjoy the fun textures and vibrant flavors with friends and family.
