Cream Fruit Salad

Assorted fruits & nuts in Cream



This is a post that has been in my drafts for a week, the one which I had planned to post before I started to India. But in the hurry burry of the packing & cleaning & last minute shopping & preparations, I did not get time. Yes, this was a sudden twist in the normal vacation plan of ours. We had to start 2 weeks ahead of our anticipated plan & that too in a notice of 5 days.. So u can imagine the work package that come with it :D But anyways happy to get an extended vacation & enjoyment in the scorching heat of South India !! 


So back to the post, this is a very simple & quick dessert that can be prepared with the available fruits & nuts at hand. I had it at my friend Rameena's place & immediately fell in love with it. And so one day when I had a craving I messaged her for the recipe.. I knew it was a simple one, but wanted to get it right, exactly like hers ;) You know, this is an easy way to feed fruits to kids & also even adults too !! So, off to the recipe ;)

I Took: 20 minutes


Serves: 4 ppl


I Used:

Cream - 300 ml
Vanilla Essence - 1 tsp
Sugar - 3 tbsp or As Needed
Mango - 1 no
Apple - 1 no
Honey dew - ½ a normal sized fruit
Almonds - As Needed
Cashews - As Needed
Raisins - As Needed



The Way:

  1. Whip up the cream with sugar & vanilla essence till it gives a nice foamy texture
  2. Cut the fruits into cubes as for fruit salad and add it to the whipped up cream
  3. Add the chopped nuts and give a mix. This tastes more heavenly when you roast the nuts in a little ghee before adding to the whipped up cream
  4. Refrigerate for an hour or overnight as time permits & serve chilled


Notes:

You can use any fruit & nut of your choice. I used the ones that I had available that day !!

Cheers,
Chitz

  41. Writing on any subject is not an easy task, when you write on any subject it is very difficult. Anyone who thinks that he will write something easily on any subject, then his thinking is very wrong, I do not know that perhaps those people will have to put so much mind. Whatever you have written in your post, it has been written very beautifully, you are a person writing a good post, the more you are praised, the less it is.
