  6. Shivani

    I want to make it but what is cool whip and sour cream??

  7. Jaya

    As Liane already said Cool Whip and sour cream are US food products. If you live outside of the United States, it may be more difficult to obtain them.

    Manjula uses US ingredients and products for many parts of her recipes.

  8. Liane

    Sour cream is not something you can make at home.

    Sour Cream and Cool whip are both products that are available readily in the United States.

    Sour Cream us available in the dairy department and has many different uses.

    Cool Whip is available in the frozen dessert section and is often used in desserts as toppings, etc…

    1. kausar

  10. sri

    this looks more like a paste than a cream. cream is supposed to be mild liquidy and not like jelly type. ..

  11. puja

    Thank you so much for the tips on utilizing cream, sour cream and or whipped cream for fruit salad. I live in GA. Here we have a buffet which makes an awesome fresh quartered apples with cream. I usually add raisins and cranberries. I like it so much, I bought all three to try and see which one will taste the best. Thanks, LMG

    Hello Aunty, where can I find cool whip in the US ?

    1. Jaya

      Cool Whip is available in any grocery store in the refrigerated dairy section. Ask a store clerk if you cannot find it.

  17. Yash

    Hello Manjula ji,

    I had made this fruit cream using your recipe, I couldn’t find sour cream so i skipped it. I also added few drops of pineapple essence in whipped cream, it turned out to be outstanding. Also i powdered the sugar first before adding it in cream..
    Thanks & Regards

    Dear Manjula Aunty, I have been looking for this recipe for a long time, thank you! You’re the best!!

  27. Annu

    If you want you can try adding different flavors of ice creams too…that way you can make strawberry/vanilla/coffee flavored fruit cream.

  28. Kiran

    thanks
    kiran

    1. F

      Hi Kiran,
      Nice idea, my friend added white chocolate chips and vanilla cake ( all in layers) along with jelly ( no custard) to make a super trifle.The rest of the recipe is like Manjula’s. Simply yum! The white chocolate chips get chilled and provide a nice crunch. You’ve got to try it!!

  29. priya rawat

    i want know wat is sour cream…

    1. Jaya

      Just Google “sour cream”. Easier that way.

  30. minu

    can we follow this recipe with tropical or any other canned fruit.?

    1. Joti

      Yep u can add any fruits

  31. kanika

    hi aunty,

    i want to know what is the substitute of cool whip, i am in UK
    here v get whipped cream and double thich cream

    Waiting for ur reply

    Take care
    kanika

    1. Jaya

      Cool Whip is sweetened whipped cream. Use in the UK whatever they put on the top of desserts. Cool Whip is just a company name.

      1. KK

        Hey Kanika,
        Try buying the double cream and then whipping it yourself using the blender till you get a thick consistency. The whipping cream that you get in the shops is far too thin and doesn’t match the consistency of Cool Whip (I’ve used both cool whip and double cream)

        Hope this helps!

      Hi Anjali,
      Fruit cream you need to eat same day otherwise fruits become soggy and start leaving juice.

    Hi!
    how to make whipped cream in home…….please reply to me………………..

    1. ghazala

      Making your own whipped cream is easy and the flavor and texture leaves the store-bought stuff in the dust (that stuff is usually neither whipped nor cream). How to make your own delicious homemade whipped cream in 5 minutes.
      Difficulty: Easy
      Time Required: 5 minutes
      Here’s How:
      Put cold heavy cream and flavorings in mixing bowl. Avoid ultra-pasteurized cream if possible (see tip below). Try 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract per cup of cream, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar equivalent such as Splenda or Equal. Adjust to taste. Other extracts or flavorings (such as mint or chocolate) can be used as well.
      With standing mixer with whisk attachment or electric hand mixer, beat cream (you can use a hand whisk; it just will take longer). Start slowly — if you set it on high at first, you’ll have cream all over the place. Set the mixer so it goes as fast as possible without splashing.
      As cream thickens, turn the speed up. As it gets foamier, start checking for a soft peak, which is what you want. The peak should bend over at the top when you remove the whisk. As it gets close, slow down, because if it goes too far, it will clump and separate (essentially become butter).
      If you forget to adjust flavorings, you can still do it at this point. Ta-da! Whipped cream!

  47. Kalpakam

    Auntiji ,

    Why are you adding sour cream along with the whipping cream? Any reason ? – thanks

  48. hina

    can you tell me what is cool whip?

    1. Jaya

      “Cool Whip” is the brand name of a sweetened whipped cream sold in a container (not the kind from a spray can).

      You can buy whipping cream from the dairy section of the store and make your own if you have an electric mixer. Just add a few spoons of sugar before mixing depending on how much whipping cream you’re using.

  49. alkadixit

    kindly give substitute of sour cream

    1. Jaya

      This dish should taste good with cool whip only. That’s how I’m going to try it.

  50. Jaya

    Has anyone made this yet? Please post if you have. I’m curious how cool whip and sour cream taste together. Thanks.

  51. Hari Chandana
