Time 2h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

20 large marshmallows, halved
2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, well drained
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) loaf frozen pound cake, thawed and cubed
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen mango chunks, pieces cut into fourths
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Melt marshmallows with 1/4 cup heavy cream in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Beat remaining 1 3/4 cups heavy cream in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the cream will form soft mounds. Gently fold pineapple, coconut, vanilla extract, and cooled marshmallow into whipped cream.
  • Layer about half the pound cake cubes in a trifle bowl. Spread about half the whipped cream over the pound cake and scatter about half the quartered mango chunks over the cream. Sprinkle about half the macadamia nuts over the mangoes. Repeat layers. Chill for 2 to 3 hours before serving.

This trifle is a waste of time and ingredients. The pudding was lumpy, the fruit was canned, and the whipped cream was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This trifle is a great make-ahead dessert! I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and the trifle was perfectly chilled. I highly recommend this recipe!

This trifle was a bit too heavy for my taste. The layers of pudding and whipped cream were a bit too thick and rich. I would prefer a lighter dessert.
