Description
A light, refreshing, and creamy fruit salad made with fresh, vibrant fruits folded into an airy whipped cream dressing for an easy and elegant dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
2 medium bananas, sliced
1 kiwi, peeled and diced
1 cup grapes (red or green), halved if large
1 cup mandarin orange segments, drained
1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all the fruits, slicing and dicing as needed. Prepare bananas last.
- Toss the banana slices gently with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Combine all prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the fruit mixture until evenly coated.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh mint sprigs if desired and serve chilled.
Notes
Add the cream dressing close to serving time for best texture.
Adjust powdered sugar based on fruit sweetness.
Use coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative.
Best served cold and fresh.
