This fruit dessert is quick to prepare and does not require baking. The whipped cream is mixed until it thickens, then combined with banana, kiwi, grapes, strawberries, and crushed cookies. It can be served immediately, but after about 60 minutes in the refrigerator, it becomes a refreshing treat suitable for summer days. Quick Info Preparation time: not specified in the original recipe; the dessert is prepared quickly Cooking or baking time: not required Cooling time: 60 minutes, optional Servings: number not specified; the dessert is divided into bowls Difficulty: easy Recipe type: quick fruit dessert, no baking Ingredients 150 ml liquid whipped cream HuLaLa 1 banana 10 grapes 2 kiwis 20 plain cookies Mixed chocolate flakes, for decoration 100 g strawberries Preparation method 1. Place the liquid whipped cream in a bowl and mix until it starts to thicken. There is no need to overdo it; in the original recipe, the whipped cream is used when it becomes thicker and can be mixed with the other ingredients. 2. Put the plain cookies in a blender and pulse for just a few seconds. The goal is to break them up slightly, not to turn them into a fine powder. The small pieces contribute to the texture of the dessert. 3. Peel the banana and slice it. 4. Peel the kiwi and cut it into slices. 5. Wash the strawberries, then cut them in half. If they are larger, they can be cut into appropriately sized pieces for serving, but the basic recipe uses strawberries cut in half. 6. Add the grapes whole, without cutting. 7. Fold the fruits into the thickened whipped cream. Add the banana, kiwi slices, whole grapes, and halved strawberries. Mix gently so that the fruits do not get crushed. 8. Add the crushed cookies over the whipped cream and fruit mixture. Mix again, just enough to distribute them throughout the composition. 9. Divide the dessert into bowls. Sprinkle the mixed chocolate flakes on top and serve. 10. For a cool summer snack, let the bowls chill for about 60 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. Why I make the recipe often It’s a practical option when I want a quick dessert, without an oven and without complicated preparation. The ingredients are prepared separately and then mixed in one bowl. The fruits bring freshness, the cookies provide texture, and the whipped cream binds them into an easy-to-serve composition. I also like that the dessert can be served immediately if needed. Chilling is optional, but after an hour in the fridge, it becomes more suitable for warm days. Just keep in mind that the cookies will gradually soften when in contact with the whipped cream and fruits. Tips and variations Tips Mix the whipped cream until it thickens, without continuing unnecessarily. This recipe does not mention a very firm whipped cream, but one with a thicker consistency suitable for mixing. The cookies should be crushed for just a few seconds in the blender. If you turn them completely into powder, the dessert will have a more uniform texture, and the sensation of cookie pieces will be lost. The fruits should be washed before being added. The strawberries are rinsed and cut in half, while the kiwi is peeled. The grapes are added whole, as indicated in the recipe. Mix gently after adding the fruits. The banana and strawberries can get crushed if mixed too vigorously. If you choose to chill the dessert, place it in the fridge after dividing it into bowls and decorating it. This way, it can be served directly. Substitutions The recipe uses 150 ml of HuLaLa liquid whipped cream. If you use another liquid whipped cream, keep the same amount, as changing the product can affect the final consistency. For cookies, the source indicates plain cookies. You can use another brand of plain cookies, but it’s best to choose ones without filling or cream to maintain the structure of the recipe. For chocolate flakes, the amount is not specified. They are used for decoration, so they can be added to taste without changing the base of the dessert. Variations The simplest variation is to modify the proportion of the fruits already included in the recipe, depending on what you prefer. However, to keep the original recipe, use banana, kiwi, grapes, and strawberries together with the whipped cream and cookies. You can choose to mix the chocolate flakes into the dessert or keep them just for decoration. In the original version, they are mentioned alongside the decoration of the servings. If the dessert is prepared a little while before serving, the cookies will remain crunchier. After chilling, they absorb moisture from the whipped cream and fruits, and the texture becomes softer. Serving ideas Serve the dessert in individual bowls, as indicated in the recipe. It’s easier to portion and does not need to be moved after chilling. Sprinkle the chocolate flakes on top just before serving. They can be used for each bowl, depending on how much you want to add. For a summer snack, keep the dessert in the refrigerator for about 60 minutes and serve it cold. If served immediately, the texture of the cookies will feel better. Frequently asked questions Can the dessert be served immediately? Yes. The recipe does not require chilling before serving. The 60 minutes in the fridge are optional and are recommended to achieve a cold summer snack. How long should the whipped cream be mixed? The source does not specify an exact time. The whipped cream is mixed until it thickens. Stop mixing when it reaches the necessary consistency to be combined with the fruits and cookies. Should the cookies be turned into powder? No. They are placed in the blender for just a few seconds, just enough to break them up slightly. The small pieces are suitable for the texture of this dessert. Are the grapes cut? No. In the original recipe, the 10 grapes are added whole. Can I prepare the dessert a day in advance? This is not the ideal option, as the cookies will soften in contact with the whipped cream and fruits. It is best to serve it immediately or after the optional chilling of about 60 minutes mentioned in the recipe. Nutritional values The values are estimated, as the weight of the cookies, the amount of chocolate flakes, and the number of servings are not specified. The exact type of whipped cream and the values of the HuLaLa product can also change the outcome. For the entire recipe, with the 20 cookies, fruits, and 150 ml of whipped cream, the estimate is around 1,600-2,100 kcal. The total amount may contain approximately 20-30 g of protein, 240-310 g of carbohydrates, and 60-90 g of fats. If the dessert is divided into 4 equal servings, one serving would have approximately 400-525 kcal, 5-8 g of protein, 60-78 g of carbohydrates, and 15-23 g of fats. These figures are indicative and depend especially on the cookies, the whipped cream used, and the quantity of chocolate flakes. Storage and reheating The dessert is stored in the refrigerator, in the bowls in which it was served. Before consuming, it is enough to take it out of the fridge and serve it cold. It should not be reheated. The whipped cream and fruits are not suitable for heating, and the cookies quickly change texture. For a better result, the dessert should be consumed as close to the preparation time as possible or after the optional cooling of 60 minutes.
