First make the Coconut Pudding. See here how to make our VANILLA pudding . Simply swap the regular milk quantity for coconut milk, using our Lovefoodies Vanilla Pudding Recipe. Allow to completely cool before adding the final whipped cream layer at the end. (see below)

Make the strawberry sauce by adding the strawberries to a blender with the powdered sugar. Taste the sauce as you add the sugar so you can add more or less to your preference.

In a shallow dish, add the Strawberry Sauce and dip each lady finger in the sauce completely, then remove and cut each finger in to 3 pieces. Line the trifle bowl or glasses with the fingers. !**Keep the remaining strawberry sauce as we will use it to drizzle in and on top of the trifle.

Slice the strawberries in to bite sized cubes. You can save some for the top for decoration too if you'd like to! Then add a layer of strawberries on top of the fingers. Then a drizzle of strawberry sauce. Use a spoon and add a layer of coconut pudding, then another layer of strawberries, then another drizzle of strawberry sauce, then the remaining coconut pudding. You might have to use a knife and poke the filling around a bit so the pudding reaches in between the cracks. At this point, if you are making ahead, cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Once chilled, add the whipped cream layer below.

Whip the cream to stiff peaks. Pipe or spread the cream over the top as your final layer and drizzle some strawberry sauce and garnish with a few strawberries and shredded coconut if you wish. Chill until ready to serve.

Allow to chill for 4 hours so the pudding has time to soak in to the lady's fingers.

Please enjoy! And there you have our Easy Strawberry and Coconut Trifle!
