Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple (cubed)
- 1 large Banana (sliced)
- 1 cup Strawberries (halved)
- 1 cup Grapes (seedless)
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour the chilled whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream, and gently fold or whisk until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Prepare all the fruits by washing, peeling (if necessary), and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Add the apples, bananas, strawberries, grapes, and pineapple chunks to a large salad bowl.
Drizzle the orange juice over the fruit to prevent browning and add a subtle citrus zing. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
Pour the whipped cream mixture over the prepared fruits. Using a spatula, fold the cream gently into the fruit until well-coated. Take care not to crush the delicate fruits.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it chill and the flavors meld together.
Before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added crunch and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful and creamy fruit salad!
