Dessert in 5 minutes without an oven, without condensed milk, gelatin and flour!

By Lesia

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Optional Additions:
    • A squeeze of lemon juice over the fruit can add brightness.
    • Sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped nuts over the top for texture.
  4. 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!
