Dessert in 5 minutes without an oven, without condensed milk, gelatin and flour!
Okay, let’s create a super-fast, no-bake dessert that avoids condensed milk, gelatin, and flour! This will rely on creamy ingredients and quick assembly.
5-Minute Creamy Fruit & Cookie Dessert
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream (very cold)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup of fruit, diced (berries, bananas, peaches, etc.)
- 1 cup of cookies, broken into pieces (graham crackers, shortbread, etc.)
- Optional: lemon juice, chocolate chips, nuts
Instructions:
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large bowl, pour the very cold heavy cream.
- Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), whip the cream until soft peaks begin to form.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Dessert:
- In individual serving glasses or bowls, layer the ingredients in this order:
- A layer of broken cookie pieces.
- A layer of diced fruit.
- A layer of whipped cream.
- Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the glass.
- In individual serving glasses or bowls, layer the ingredients in this order:
- Optional Additions:
- A squeeze of lemon juice over the fruit can add brightness.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped nuts over the top for texture.
- Serve Immediately:
- This dessert is best enjoyed immediately. If you want a colder dessert, you can chill for a few minutes.
Why This Works:
- Creamy Base: Whipped cream provides the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Fruit Freshness: Fresh fruit adds flavor and lightness.
- Cookie Crunch: Broken cookies add texture and sweetness.
- No-Bake/No-Cook: It’s all about quick assembly.
Variations:
- Yogurt Parfait: Substitute the whipped cream with a thick, creamy yogurt (like Greek yogurt).
- Chocolate Sauce Drizzle: Drizzle with chocolate sauce for a richer dessert.
- Fruit Variations: Use any fruit you like!
- Spices: a pinch of cinnamon, or nutmeg can add a nice flavor.
Enjoy this quick and easy dessert!
