Step 3: Assemble the Salad
- Choose a large, clear glass bowl to showcase the vibrant layers.
- Start with a layer of fruit at the bottom.
- Spoon half of the creamy mixture over the fruit.
- Sprinkle a portion of the coconut, nuts, and crushed crackers over the cream.
- Repeat with the remaining fruit, cream, and crunchy toppings.
Optional: Drizzle a little caramel or chocolate sauce on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give it a gentle stir to slightly mix the layers, or leave it layered for a more visually stunning presentation.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or extra nuts if desired.
