Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 Ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the texture resembles damp sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of 4 serving glasses or dessert bowls to create a base layer.
Slice the strawberries and bananas into thin pieces and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat and allow the strawberries to macerate for 5 minutes.
Layer half of the sliced bananas on top of the graham cracker base in each serving dish.
Add a layer of the macerated strawberries over the bananas, followed by a dollop of whipped cream.
Repeat the layers (bananas, strawberries, whipped cream) until you reach the top of the serving glass or bowl.
Finish with a final dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a fresh mint leaf (if desired).
Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a fresh and fruity dessert.
