Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, halved Look for berries that are bright red all over—no white tips for maximum flavor!
- 1 cup blueberries Plump, juicy blueberries add a pop of color and sweetness.
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced The emerald-green circles add beautiful contrast.
- 1 banana, sliced Go for ripe but firm bananas so they don’t get mushy.
- 2 mandarin oranges, peeled and separated Fresh is unbeatable but canned works in a pinch.
- Fresh mint for garnish Just a few leaves add a cool, refreshing aroma.
Citrus Glaze
- 2 tbsp orange juice Freshly squeezed is best.
- 1 tbsp lemon juice Balances sweetness and keeps the fruit bright.
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup Honey for floral notes, maple for a cozy touch.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash your berries and kiwi well, then slice the banana and kiwi, halve the strawberries, and peel the mandarins.
Citrus Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, and your favorite sweetener.
Layering
- In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, create colorful layers starting with strawberries, followed by blueberries, kiwi, banana, and finishing with mandarins.
Finishing Touches
- Pour the citrus glaze evenly over the fruit layers. You can toss the fruit gently or leave them in layers.
- Top with fresh mint leaves for a crisp finish.
- Serve immediately for the best freshness, or chill for 20 minutes.
Notes
To prevent banana browning, toss slices in a splash of lemon juice before layering. For the freshest flavor, assemble just before serving.
