Serves eight people for dessert.
Dip the sponge fingers into the fruit juice and liqueur mix, and arrange half of them in the base of a large serving bowl, covering the base as best as possible.
Combine the diced jelly, 300 g thawed berries and 300 g mango slices, and arrange half the mixture over the sponge fingers.
Pour over half the prepared custard.
Repeat layering with the remaining dipped sponge fingers, then the remaining fruit and jelly mix, and finally pour the remaining custard.
Place in fridge for 1 hour to chill.
To serve, top with additional berries and mango.
1 serve = 0.5 unit dairy, 1 unit fruit and 1 unit bread.
