This fruit salad in a cup is perfect for a leisurely breakfast or a festive buffet. Plus, it’s a delicious alternative to ice cream—homemade, vibrant, and light. For a no-bake option, try a simple fruit-and-berry treat.
Ingredients:
Use whatever fruits you love, but for this fruit cup, you will need:
- canned pineapple – 1 can
- bananas – 3
- strawberries and other berries – 500 g
- mandarins – 450 g
- orange juice – 180 g
- lemon juice – 2 tablespoons
- sugar – 1 cup
- water – 1 cup
Preparation
Chop the fruits and berries without going overboard—leave some juicy chunks. In a separate bowl, mix the water, sugar, and juices, then pour this fragrant mixture over the fruits.
Spoon the fruit dessert into cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Place them in the freezer for 45 minutes—this is enough time for the dessert to chill without turning into ice. Before serving, take them out and enjoy.
If you enjoy desserts with richer textures, try a different no-bake, light, airy dessert.
Life Hack
Using the same principle, you can prepare any other portioned dessert in a cup or a trifle in a glass—a popular format for no-bake home desserts. Each trifle is equivalent to a slice of cake. This presentation avoids crumbs and dirty dishes. Plus, you can serve fruit desserts in different flavors at once (often at least three trifles of the same flavor) to create a delicious assortment.
