Summer Fruit Salad
Summer has always its fresh seasonal produce. The most vibrant and everyone's favorite mangoes, and berries belong to this season. Having said that Fruit cream recipe is a no-cook summer delight. It has a creamy base along with a sweetener and fresh fruits. I also like a bite along with the fruits and hence included some nuts.
We always look for a quick, easy to make dish and cooling food, and fruit with cream ticks all the above. I am using seasonal strawberries, blueberries, grapes, Guava, Papaya, Apple, and banana.
You can also include mangoes, pomegranate, kiwi, and any favorite fresh fruits.
Ingredients
Fresh fruits - I am using strawberry, blueberry, grapes, Guava, Papaya, Apple, and banana. You can also include mangoes, pomegranate, kiwi, or any favorite fresh fruits.
Cream - Whipping cream, Heavy Cream, or even fresh cream works well for the recipe. We whip the cream until soft peaks and mix the fruits.
Honey - You can use powdered sugar or even Maple syrup too. The fruits are already sweet and hence this dessert needs a small quantity of sweetener. No harm in skipping this as well.
Nuts - Adds lovely bite among the fruits. It is totally optional but recommends adding them. I am using almonds, pistachios, and pecans. You can use any other nuts or seeds. Slip them and use or use slivered nut.
