Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Assorted fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, and orange segments)
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.25 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Orange zest
- 1 tablespoons Orange liqueur (optional, e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
- 2 tablespoons Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the fresh fruit thoroughly. If necessary, hull strawberries, peel oranges, or cut larger fruits like pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Set the fruit aside in a mixing bowl.
In a chilled bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This step can be done with a hand whisk or electric mixer.
Gently fold the sour cream into the whipped cream until well combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Add the sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange liqueur (if using) to the cream mixture. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Pour the creamy mixture over the prepared fruit and toss gently to coat the fruit evenly. Be careful not to crush delicate fruits like raspberries or blueberries.
Chill the Fruit Romanoff in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Fruit Romanoff in individual dessert bowls or glasses. Garnish with a sprinkle of additional orange zest and a few mint leaves for a fresh, elegant presentation.
Enjoy this light and refreshing dessert immediately!
