Instructions
-
Prepare the Fruits:
- Wash, peel (if necessary), and dice the apple, banana, mango, and guava.
- Place all the diced fruits in a bowl, drizzle the lemon juice over them, and gently toss to coat. This helps to keep the fruits fresh and prevents browning.
-
Make the Yogurt-Coconut Cream Base:
- In a separate bowl, add the Greek yogurt, coconut milk, and honey.
- Using a whisk or a hand mixer, whip the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
-
Combine Fruits with Cream:
- Gently fold the diced fruits and lemon mixture into the yogurt-coconut cream. Mix just enough to incorporate the fruits evenly without crushing them.
-
Chill the Mixture:
- Transfer the prepared fruit cream to a serving bowl or small dessert cups.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Before serving, sprinkle the dessert with crushed pistachios for a touch of color and a delightful crunch.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert after a meal or as a light treat for unexpected guests.
Enjoy your healthy and guilt-free treat! This dessert is perfect for any occasion, balancing nutrition with indulgence and delighting taste buds in every creamy, fruity bite.
