Fruit Cream Recipe

I grew up loving Fruit Cream because it was one of the desserts my mom made most often. This dessert is quite popular among North Indian homes and is made for several special occasions, birthday parties, marriage ceremonies, and house parties. I have tasted it in many of my friends’ homes, but honestly, my mom’s version is the best!

She didn’t use just cream; instead, she added plain yogurt to the mixture, making this dessert a little lighter and perfectly balanced. So, let’s try this recipe!

About Fruit Cream

Fruit Cream is a delicious summer dessert made with freshly chopped fruit and nuts, combined with creamy yogurt and cream.

You can make this light and refreshing dessert quickly with just a few ingredients.

Try making this fruit salad with cream for your special occasions, festivals, or get-togethers. I would suggest serving it chilled in small serving bowls and, to make it look good, garnish it with chopped fresh fruit, nuts, and a mint sprig. For a larger group, you can also serve it in a large bowl and let people serve themselves.

How To Make Fruit Cream Recipe – Step By Step

Step 1: Take 1 cup of unsweetened light-whipping cream and 1 cup of plain yogurt in a bowl. Whisk with your electric whisk or a handheld whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Add 4 tablespoon of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to your bowl, and whisk until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3: Add all the fruits and nuts to the bowl and mix well. In this recipe, I used the following.

• ¼ cup peeled, cored, and chopped apple
• ¼ cup peeled and chopped banana
• ¼ cup peeled and chopped kiwi
• ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
• ¼ cup chopped strawberries
• ¼ cup halved green grapes
• ¼ cup peeled and chopped orange
• ¼ cup peeled and chopped mango
• 2 tablespoon crushed cashew nuts
• 2 tablespoon crushed almonds
• 1 tablespoon crushed unsalted pistachios

Step 4: Chill the bowl in your refrigerator for 1-2 hours and serve chilled.

Variations

With Ice Cream – You can also use ice cream as the base for this dessert, along with fresh cream and yogurt, to give it a different flavor.

To do this variation, slightly soften a brick of locally bought vanilla ice cream, then whisk it with your wire whisk. Then add the fruits and nuts and serve immediately.

Layered Dessert – To make a layered dessert, layer your fresh fruit, whipped cream, and yogurt mixture in a glass or bowl, one layer over the other.

With Cream Cheese – Mix softened cream cheese with whipped cream, powdered sugar, and a little vanilla extract. Fold in your fruits and nuts. Chill and serve.

Using Canned Fruits – You can replace fresh fruits with canned fruits if you prefer. You can use any canned fruit, such as peaches, pears, pineapples, or a fruit cocktail, to make this recipe.

Storage Suggestions

Fruit cream can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. After that, the fruits will release water, and the cream will become watery.

Freezing is not recommended, as it may change the cream’s texture once thawed.
