Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cream Base
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or any Halal certified yogurt can substitute with plant-based yogurt
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruits and Toppings
  • 2 cups assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, and mangoes) use fresh fruits for best texture
  • ½ cup granola (optional, for added crunch)
  • as needed colorful sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.
  2. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Be careful not to deflate your whipped cream!
Layering and Serving
  1. In a clear serving dish or individual cups, start by placing a layer of the cream mixture at the bottom.
  2. Add a layer of your assorted fresh fruits, followed by more cream. Repeat the layers until the dish is filled, finishing with a creamy top layer.
  3. If you’re using granola, sprinkle it on top.
  4. Top off with colorful sprinkles or edible glitter for that extra delightful touch.
  5. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving so the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

These desserts can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 2 days. For the best taste and texture, enjoy them the same day they are made.
