Food brings back memories, some good ones, and ehhm – some not so good ones. Have you been in a situation where someone has refused to share their recipe?. 

I understand if they are making money out of it or that recipe has been in the family for years, but seriously, hiding a fruit cream recipe!.

It happened to me a few years ago. I went for dinner to a family friend’s place, and then she served a beautiful creamy fruit salad. When a few of us raved about the dessert and asked what the ingredients are, she straightaway refused to give the recipe saying its a secret.  

I did not have a blog then and was far away from starting one. Even if I had a blog, I wouldn’t have published a recipe without consent. From that day on, I am a bit reluctant to ask for a recipe unless they mention. ๐Ÿ™‚

Fast forward a few months, I had this fruit cream at another friend’s place and told her the dessert was irresistible. ‘It’s so easy to make, its just sour cream and heavy cream,’ Jagritee added. ๐Ÿ™‚

This fruit cream is one of the easiest desserts you can put together, just like the no-bake pot de creme/no-bake pudding and chocolate mousse. It doesn’t matter if you are making for two or a crowd. Also, this chilled fruit salad with whipping cream is excellent for summer.

What is Fruit Cream?

Fruit cream is a summer dessert made with whipping cream and sour cream or yogurt and fruits.

It is served cold and is perfect for get-togethers, BBQs, or a party because it a breeze to put together.

It is a quick and delicious dessert that is genuinely irresistible, made using few ingredients, seasonal fruits, whipping cream, sour cream, and nuts. It is so easy to put together when you have a gettogether or potluck. Always remember to make extra servings because you cannot stop with one bowl ๐Ÿ™‚

What goes best with fruit cream?

You can add any fruit to this delicious creamy delight; however, it’s best to avoid melons due to their significant water content. The best fruits to add are mangoes, kiwi, grapes, pineapples, apples, Sapodilla (chikoo), banana, and berries.

My favorite combination is mango, pomegranate, apples, orange. I feel this is absolutely necessary for the right crunch and texture. When mangoes are not in season, I substitute them with berries.

Dessert for a crowd

When I am making dessert for a crowd, I like to use canned tropical fruits with fresh fruits. I buy a separate can of mandarin oranges.

When we were in the States, I would buy a big can from Costo or Bjs. That way, you don’t have to chop a lot of fruit.

I am not sure where you can find big cans in Dubai.

When I am making a smaller batch, I usually use fresh fruits.

Which cream is best for desserts?

Use any fresh whipping cream of your choice (avoid using store-bought powder for this as this is dessert is all about the freshness!)

Can I use yogurt instead of sour cream?

You can use yogurt if you do not have sour cream handy, but sour cream’s flavor makes it much better.

How do you keep fruit salads from getting watery
Don’t use fruits with a high concentration of water content like melon or citrus fruits.
When chopping your fruits, collect the excess juice out in a separate bowl instead of adding it to the cream; use that delicious juice later for maybe a quick syrup.

Sometimes it’s fun to jazz up the things you already have in handy and create something beautiful out of it!

You can also add cream cheese to this dessert and convert it into a cream cheese dip recipe. Adding cream cheese will make this recipe so divine.

Fruit cream with ice-cream
To make substitute cream or yogurt with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! It’s best to soften the ice cream by whisking it for a while before adding fruits and nuts. However, I like the whipping cream sour cream combination.

You can also whip the cream with little powdered sugar and add the fruits to it for an easier version.

How to make fruit cream?

As I said, it is one of the easiest recipes.

Add the heavy whipping cream + sour cream + sugar + salt into a bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed. You can also add a dash of vanilla extract.

Add the fruits of your choice.

Garnish with pomegranate or berries if you have handy. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts or your favorite nuts.

I believe walnuts make a great topping on fruit cream.

Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Double or triple the recipe if needed.

What fruits are used in Fruit salad?

Use your favorite fruits. My favorite combinations are grapes, apple, mango, orange, and pomegranate.

I wouldn’t add watermelon because it becomes watery, but other than that, pretty much any fruit should be excellent.

Recipe Notes

I love the canned mandarin oranges with a mix of fresh fruits.

Pineapple, mangoes, pear, grapes, apples, pomegranate are a few of the other options. Some people prefer banana, jello pieces, and marshmallows too.

If you are making a big batch, you get big cans of tropical fruits in syrup at Bjs and similar wholesale stores.

If using canned fruits, drain the fruits from the syrup well before adding to the cream.
