Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Seedless grapes (red or green, or a mix)
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the seedless grapes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Remove any stems and set the grapes aside in a serving dish or small individual bowls.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer (or a whisk if doing it by hand), beat the cream on medium-high speed until it starts to thicken slightly.
Add the powdered sugar and almond extract to the thickened cream. Continue beating until the cream forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream may become grainy.
Spoon the almond whipped cream over the prepared grapes, dividing it evenly among the servings.
If desired, sprinkle slivered almonds over the top for added crunch and flavor. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light, fruity dessert!
