You can add any type of fruit to this fruit cream. But I don't like to add melon varieties like watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, musk melon, and sugar melon. It releases lots of water and makes the fruit cream watery and soggy.

As per whipping cream, you can either use half & half cream or heavy cream for this dessert. I used to make fruit cream in India with Amul fresh cream, and here I like horizon fresh cream.

Similarly, sugar quantity can be adjusted as per your sweet tooth. If the fruits are sweet enough, use less sugar and vice-versa. Alright, now let's get into the recipe.

How to make fruit cream dessert:


1. Take a deep bowl and pour 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. (Note: You may chill the bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes and skip this if you live in a colder climate).
2. Start whipping the cream using an electric mixer on the lowest setting and gradually increase speed. (Note: This process takes about 5 minutes).
3. Add sugar once the whipping cream is half done. Again whip the cream and sugar until it doubles in quantity and forms stiff peaks. Refrigerate the whipped cream for 15 minutes. (Note: Powdered sugar works best to get a smooth texture).
4. In the meantime, chop your favorite fruits into bite-sized pieces.

5. Remove the whipping cream from the refrigerator. Add fruits into the cream and gently fold it using a silicone or wooden spatula. (Note: Make sure you do not mash the fruits by stirring them vigorously).

 6. Now, the fruits are nicely coated with cream, and it looks thick and creamy.

7. You may add a quarter cup of milk to get a semi-liquid consistency. (Note: My whipping cream was very thick, so I had to mix some chilled milk).

 8. Sprinkle some finely chopped nuts, raisins, cherries, and pomegranate seeds over the fruit cream to get a nutty and crunchy bite.

Delicious and chilled fruit cream desserts are ready to be served in a bowl. Enjoy!
