- 2 cups of blueberries
- 2 cups of bananas, sliced
- 2 cups of grapes, halved
Heavy Cream
- 1 cup of heavy cream
Flavor Enhancers
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruits: Start by washing all your fruits thoroughly. Peel and chop them into bite-sized pieces, ensuring a mix of textures and colors for your salad. Aim for a balance between soft and crunchy fruits.
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream and add the vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form. This will create a light and fluffy base for your salad.
- Sweeten the Cream: Incorporate honey or maple syrup into the whipped cream, adjusting the sweetness to your liking. A little squeeze of lemon juice enhances the flavors and keeps everything fresh.
- Combine Everything: Gently fold the prepared fruits into the whipped cream mixture. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain the integrity of the fruit pieces while ensuring they are well coated.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer your Creamy Fruit Salad to a serving bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled for the best experience.
Notes
- Choose Ripeness: Opt for fruits that are perfectly ripe for maximum flavor and sweetness.
- Keep it Cool: Chill your bowl and utensils before mixing to keep the cream from melting too quickly.
- Mix Gently: When combining fruits and cream, use a folding motion to prevent bruising the fruit.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste and adjust the sweetness of the cream before mixing in the fruits.
- Presentation Matters: Serve in a clear bowl to showcase the vibrant colors of your fruits.
