Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This dessert is delicious served with fresh whipped cream.
  • tip 2
    To remove seed and peel from mango, use a sharp knife to make a cut through one side of mango, sliding knife next to seed. Repeat on other side of seed, making 2 large pieces. Make cuts in crosshatch fashion through flesh just to peel; bend peel back and carefully slide knife between peel and flesh to separate. Discard peel; cut flesh into cubes.
  • tip 3
    Recipe Variation Banana-Raspberry-Orange Trifle: Substitute sliced bananas (sprinkled with lemon juice), fresh raspberries and canned mandarin orange segments for the pineapple, mango and strawberries. Experiment to come up with your favorite combination!
