Fresh Fruit Bowl with Whipped Cream

Make a fruit bowl with your favorite fruits to serve with the whipped cream. I like to use a combination of blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.

Make Ahead Fruit: Wash the fruit and allow it to dry. Store each type of fruit in a separate airtight container and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. You can prepare up to 3 to 4 days ahead.

Make Ahead Stabilized Whipped Cream – For stabilized whipped cream that will hold up to 48 hours in the refrigerator, add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to your fresh whipping cream and the confectioner’s sugar.

Make the Perfect Whipped Cream recipe every time with these steps and tips! With just three ingredients, it's so easy to make it fresh any time for the best desserts! // addapinch.com - 8
