Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 2 large Fresh kiwi
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing the fruit. Peel the kiwi and dice it into small chunks. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and granulated sugar. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and break down slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar.
Using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
Once the blueberry mixture has cooled, fold it into the whipped cream gently, leaving streaks for a marbled effect. Reserve a small amount of the blueberry mixture for topping, if desired.
Gently fold in the diced kiwi, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
Spoon the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls. Drizzle some of the reserved blueberry mixture on top for decoration and garnish with mint leaves, if using.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
