About this recipe
Rainbow Yoghurt and Fruit Layers is a dazzling Thermomix TM7 dessert that turns simple Greek yoghurt, mascarpone and fresh seasonal fruit into an eye-catching layered treat. Searching for yoghurt dessert recipes or fruit parfait ideas for your all-in-one kitchen machine will lead you straight here, because this recipe showcases how effortlessly the TM7 whips cream to airy peaks and blends the vanilla yoghurt base into a silky, cloud-like cream. The natural colours of kiwi, pineapple, peach, strawberries and raspberries create cheerful stripes that make children reach for fruit without hesitation, while adults appreciate the balanced sweetness from caster sugar.

Thanks to the precise control of the Thermomix, the cream base reaches an ideal consistency every single time, giving you restaurant-quality presentation at home.
Preparation tips
- Layer the glasses in the order cream, fruit, cream, fruit so the colours stay clearly visible; press each fruit layer lightly with a spoon to prevent the stripes from blending into one another.
- Use fruit that is ripe but firm, as overripe strawberries and kiwi release juice that clouds the mascarpone cream; drain the pineapple pieces briefly before layering to keep the layers crisp.
- Prepare the yoghurt-mascarpone cream first and chill it while you dice the fruit, or swap Greek yoghurt for a lactose-free alternative to make the dessert suitable for guests with intolerances.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the Greek yoghurt, mascarpone and whipping cream with lactose-free yoghurt, lactose-free cream cheese and plant-based whipping cream, keeping the same vanilla bean paste and fruit layers for an identical rainbow effect.
- Festive winter version: swap pineapple and peach for clementine segments, pomegranate seeds and lightly caramelised pear, and add a pinch of cinnamon to the yoghurt cream for a seasonal Christmas twist.
