Total preparation time: 2 hours
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

- 2 packets of ladyfingers (approximately 400g)
- 500 ml liquid whipped cream
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding (approximately 40g)
- 600 ml milk (preferably whole for a richer taste)
- 200 g sugar
- 2 packets of gelatin (approximately 14g)
- 1 can of pineapple (approximately 400g)
- 4 kiwis
- 2 oranges
- 1 banana
- Lemon juice (from 1 lemon)

Step 1: Preparing the pudding

In a saucepan, add 600 ml of milk and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. When the milk starts to boil, add the packet of vanilla pudding dissolved in a small amount of cold milk. Continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until the pudding thickens. It is essential to be patient in this step to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

Tip: If you want a more flavorful pudding, add a few drops of vanilla essence at the end.

Step 2: Preparing the gelatin

In a small bowl, hydrate the gelatin according to the instructions on the package (usually in cold water). Once hydrated, add the gelatin to the warm pudding and mix well until completely dissolved. Let the pudding cool to room temperature.

Step 3: Preparing the fruits

Meanwhile, peel the kiwis, oranges, and banana. Slice the kiwis thinly and cut the oranges and banana into cubes. Mix the fruits in a bowl and sprinkle with a little lemon juice to prevent oxidation. Fresh fruits not only provide a delicious taste but also bring a vibrant look to the cake.

Step 4: Whipping the cream

In another bowl, whip the cream until it becomes firm. Make sure the bowl and whisk are cold to achieve perfect whipped cream. This step is crucial to ensure an airy and fluffy texture for the cake.

Step 5: Assembling the cake

Start by placing a layer of ladyfingers at the bottom of a cake pan (preferably with a removable bottom). You can soak the ladyfingers in the pineapple juice for added flavor, but be careful not to leave them too long, or they will fall apart.

On top of the ladyfingers, add half of the vanilla pudding. Distribute a layer of fruits, then add the remaining pudding. Cover with another layer of ladyfingers, then pour the whipped cream evenly over the cake, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 6: Decorating the cake

For an elegant look, decorate the cake with the remaining cut fruits. You can also add a few mint leaves for a color contrast. Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until it sets.

Serving suggestion: Serve the cake cold, cut into generous slices, alongside a glass of lemonade or iced tea. The citrus aroma will perfectly complement the sweetness of the cake.

Possible variations: Experiment with other seasonal fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, to add a personal touch. You can also try a chocolate pudding for a decadent cake.
