Indulge in the vibrant flavors of this Fruit and Cream Layered Salad, a stunning no-bake dessert perfect for any occasion. Bursting with layers of fresh strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and pineapple chunks, this recipe combines the natural sweetness of fruit with a luscious, velvety cream made from whipped heavy cream, vanilla-infused Greek yogurt, and a touch of powdered sugar. Topped with crunchy granola, optional shredded coconut, and mint leaves for a refreshing finish, this easy 20-minute recipe is as visually impressive as it is delicious. Served chilled, this layered fruit salad is the ultimate healthy yet indulgent treat thatβs ideal for summer gatherings, potlucks, or a light dessert.
Wash and pat dry all the fresh fruits.
Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form (around 2-3 minutes).
Gently fold in the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until well combined. This will be the cream layer.
In a large clear glass serving bowl or trifle dish, begin layering the salad. Start with a layer of pineapple chunks, followed by a few dollops of the cream mixture spread evenly.
Add a layer of sliced bananas, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. Then, add a layer of blueberries.
Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of cream.
Sprinkle the granola and shredded coconut (if using) on top for crunch and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled in individual cups or bowls. Enjoy this light and fruity dessert!
