In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and peach slices. Gently toss to mix the fruits evenly.

Reduce the mixer to a low speed and add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Continue mixing until fully combined and the cream is light and airy.
Divide the mixed fruits among 4 serving bowls or glasses.
Spoon generous dollops of the Southern cream over the fruits in each bowl, or pour it over gently for a more decadent presentation.
Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this light, refreshing summer dessert!
