1

Gather Your Ingredients

Before we start layering, let's gather all the amazing ingredients for our trifle: 1 sponge cake, 1 cup of lychee liqueur, 2 cups of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a can of lychees (drained), and some fresh mint leaves for decoration.

2

Prepare the Creamy Layer

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until it forms soft peaks. This will be the deliciously creamy layer in our trifle.

3

Cut and Soak the Sponge Cake

Slice the sponge cake into thin layers. Place one layer of cake at the bottom of your trifle dish. Pour a generous amount of lychee liqueur over the cake to soak it up. Repeat this process with the remaining cake layers, creating a boozy symphony of flavors.

4

Add the Lychees

Now it's time to add those juicy lychees! Take half of the drained lychees and place them on top of the soaked cake layers. Spread them evenly to ensure every bite is bursting with fruity goodness.

5

Bask in Creamy Delights

Spoon a layer of the whipped cream mixture on top of the lychees. Make sure to cover them completely, creating a luscious cream barrier between the fruit and the next layer of cake.

6

Repeat the Layers

Repeat the process of adding soaked cake layers, lychees, and whipped cream until you run out of ingredients. Keep layering until your trifle dish is filled to the brim with delightful goodness!

7

Decorate and Chill

To finish off, garnish your trifle with some fresh mint leaves for that extra touch of elegance. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
