There’s something magical about fresh fruit and whipped cream layered together in a beautiful glass dish. This Layered Fruit Trifle has become my go-to dessert whenever I want to impress guests without turning on the oven—especially in the warmer months.
I actually made this for the first time at a last-minute family gathering. I had a mix of fruit in the fridge, some whipped cream, and not much time. The result? A light, colorful trifle that disappeared faster than I could say “dessert’s ready!”
🌈 Ingredients You’ll Need:
2 ripe bananas (sliced)
A handful of strawberries (halved)
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 kiwis (peeled and sliced)
1–2 peaches (sliced) – canned works too!
Whipped cream or thick Greek yogurt (your choice!)
Fresh mint leaves (for that final fancy touch)
Pro tip: If you’re using Greek yogurt, sweeten it with a bit of honey or vanilla for extra flavor.
🥄 How to Assemble This Trifle (No Cooking Required!)
- Grab a clear trifle bowl or any deep glass dish. Start by adding a layer of blueberries at the bottom.
- Next, layer in the banana slices, then strawberries. Try to press them against the sides for that eye-catching look.
- Add a generous layer of whipped cream or Greek yogurt. Don’t worry about perfection—it’s supposed to look rustic and fun.
- Keep going! Now add your peach slices and kiwi rounds, then more cream/yogurt.
- Finish it all off with a few berries on top, and a sprinkle of fresh mint.
That’s it! Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes if you have time—it tastes even better chilled.
💡 Why I Love This Dessert
What I love most about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can swap in whatever fruits you have on hand. Sometimes I throw in mango, raspberries, or even grapes. Kids love helping layer it, and it’s naturally colorful without any artificial ingredients.
Plus, it just feels like summer in every bite. 🌞
