Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Hull and slice the fresh strawberries. If you prefer, sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the strawberries and let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip it.

Step 3: Mix the Yogurt

In another bowl, combine the vanilla yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Fold the Whipped Cream

Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream. You want to keep the mixture light and airy.

Step 5: Prepare the Layers

If you're using granola or crushed cookies, layer this at the bottom of your serving glasses or dish for a crunchy base. You can also sprinkle it between layers of the creamy mixture.

Step 6: Layer the Dessert

Start by adding a layer of the creamy mixture in your serving dish or individual cups. Top with a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers, finishing with the creamy topping.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Top with fresh mint leaves for a beautiful garnish. You can also add extra granola or crushed cookies on top for additional texture.

Step 8: Chill and Serve

You can serve the dessert immediately or refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
