A trifle is generally a layered dessert that consists of layers of cake or cookies, pudding, fruit, and cream, and in this case, it's enriched with the unique taste of dried mangoes.

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup crumbled cake (e.g., vanilla or sponge cake)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions using the 2 cups of milk. Allow the pudding to cool and set in the refrigerator.

2. Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

3. Take glasses or bowls to serve the trifles. Begin with a layer of crumbled cake at the bottom of each glass.

4. Add a spoonful of the dried mango pieces on top of the cake.

5. Then, spoon a layer of the vanilla pudding over the dried mango.

6. Repeat these layers until the glasses are nearly full. Finish with a generous layer of whipped cream on top.
