Ingredients:
- 2 oranges
- 4 apples
- 4 pears
- 1 jar of sour cherries from compote (about 200 g)
- 1 jar of cherries from compote (about 200 g)
- 2 bananas
- 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 1/2 liter of sparkling wine
- 1 packet of vanilla (or vanilla extract, as preferred)

Step 1: Preparing the fruits
Start by washing the fruits well. Peel the apples, pears, and oranges and remove the seeds. Cut the apples and pears into thin slices, and the oranges into segments or slices. Use a sharp knife to achieve even cuts, which will add an attractive look to the dish. Slice the bananas into rounds.

Step 2: Assembling the dessert
In a deep bowl, layer a layer of apple slices, followed by a layer of pears, and then oranges. Between each layer, sprinkle a tablespoon of powdered sugar, making sure to distribute the sugar evenly to allow the fruits to caramelize beautifully. Finally, add the sour cherries and cherries from the compote, scattering them over the fruits.

Step 3: Flavor
For an extra flavor boost, add the vanilla over the fruits. This will complement the natural sweetness of the dessert and bring a subtle yet distinct aroma.

Step 4: Adding the sparkling wine
Once you have arranged all the fruits in the bowl, carefully pour the sparkling wine over them, ensuring that all the fruits are well covered. The sparkling wine will add a bubbly and fresh sensation to the dessert, making it truly special.

Step 5: Refrigeration
Let the dessert sit in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes. This step allows the fruits to absorb the flavors of the wine and meld together, creating a delicious combination.

Step 6: Serving
After the dessert has chilled in the fridge, take it out and serve it in elegant cups or individual bowls. You can add a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Each serving will be a true feast for the eyes and a delight for the taste buds.

Variation suggestions:
For a personal touch, you can add a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavors of the fruits, or you can experiment with other seasonal fruits such as peaches, mangoes, or pineapples. You can also replace the sparkling wine with prosecco or champagne for an extra touch of elegance.

This fruit dessert with sparkling wine is not only easy to prepare but also a healthy and delicious choice, ideal for any occasion. Enjoy it chilled, savoring the blend of flavors and textures of fresh fruits perfectly combined with sparkling wine. Bon appétit!
