Indulge in the refreshing simplicity of Grapes with Almond Whipped Cream, a quick and elegant dessert perfect for any occasion. This recipe pairs juicy seedless grapesโeither red, green, or a vibrant mixโwith a luxurious, homemade almond-infused whipped cream. With only 15 minutes of prep, youโll whisk heavy cream, powdered sugar, and a touch of almond extract into soft, airy peaks that perfectly complement the natural sweetness of the fruit. For added texture and flavor, sprinkle slivered almonds on top and finish with a hint of fresh mint for a burst of color and aroma. Perfect as a light dessert or an elegant snack, this no-cook recipe is a versatile treat that puts fresh ingredients front and center.
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!
