Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruits (berries, bananas, etc.)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup granola
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of mixed fresh fruits (such as berries, bananas, or any seasonal fruits you prefer), 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup of granola, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Wash the mixed fresh fruits thoroughly under cool running water. If you are using berries, gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. For bananas, peel and slice them into thin rounds.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and the honey is fully incorporated into the yogurt.
- Prepare serving glasses or bowls for layering the ingredients. You can use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers of fruit, yogurt, and granola.
- Start by adding a layer of the Greek yogurt mixture at the bottom of each glass or bowl, using about 1/4 of the yogurt mixture for each serving.
- Next, add a layer of mixed fresh fruits on top of the yogurt layer. Use about 1/3 of the fruit for each serving, spreading it evenly over the yogurt.
- Sprinkle a layer of granola over the fresh fruits, using about 2 tablespoons of granola for each serving to add a nice crunch.
- Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of the Greek yogurt mixture, followed by more mixed fruits, and another sprinkle of granola until all ingredients are used up. Aim for at least two layers for each serving.
- Finish with a final layer of fresh fruits on top for a colorful presentation. You can also drizzle a little extra honey on top if desired.
- Once all servings are assembled, place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to chill slightly before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Creamy Layered Fruit Sensation chilled, and enjoy this refreshing, healthy dessert or snack!
Tips
- Choose the freshest, ripest fruits for maximum flavor and visual appeal. Mix and match seasonal fruits like strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and peaches.
- Use clear glasses or mason jars to showcase the beautiful layers - presentation is key!
- For extra richness, use full-fat Greek yogurt, which provides a creamier texture.
- Chill your ingredients beforehand to keep the layers firm and prevent mixing.
- Toast the granola lightly before adding for an enhanced nutty flavor and extra crunch.
- Experiment with different honey varieties like lavender or orange blossom honey for unique taste profiles.
- Make these in advance and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for a quick grab-and-go breakfast or dessert.
