Other Tips for Easy Indian Fruit Cream Recipe:
Choose Ripe and Fresh Fruits: Select ripe and fresh fruits for the best flavor and texture in your Fruit Cream. Avoid using overripe or bruised fruits, as they may become mushy and affect the overall consistency of the dessert.
Chill Whipping Cream and Bowl: For best results, chill the whipping cream and mixing bowl in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before whipping. Cold cream whips up faster and holds its shape better, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
Sweeten Whipped Cream to Taste: Sweeten the whipped cream to your taste preference by gradually adding powdered sugar or sweetened condensed milk while whipping. Start with a small amount and taste as you go, adjusting the sweetness as needed.
Keep Fruit Cream Refrigerated: Fruit Cream is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Serve in individual bowls or glasses for a beautiful presentation.
FAQs about Fruit Cream:
Can I use canned fruits for Fruit Cream?
Fruit cream loses its texture its flavour and its richness in cream form if we use canned fruits for fruit cream. It is best enjoyed fresh as fruits are best when eaten fresh. They are healthy option to other sugary desserts.
How long does Fruit Cream last in the refrigerator?
Fruit Cream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. However, it is best enjoyed fresh, as the fruits may release moisture and cause the whipped cream to become watery over time.
Can I use non-dairy whipped topping for Fruit Cream?
Yes, you can use non-dairy whipped topping such as whipped coconut cream or whipped soy cream as a vegan alternative to dairy whipped cream. Follow the same instructions for whipping and sweetening as you would with dairy cream.
Can I make Fruit Cream ahead of time for parties?
Yes, you can prepare Fruit Cream ahead of time for parties and gatherings. Whip the cream and prepare the fruits separately, then assemble the dessert just before serving to ensure freshness and optimal texture.

Whether enjoyed as a light and healthy treat or as a decadent topping for cakes and pastries, its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors are sure to impress.

Jaya
August 1, 2011 at 7:23 amAs 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.
Liane
August 1, 2011 at 6:18 amSour 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…

Jaya
March 25, 2011 at 6:52 pmCool Whip is available in any grocery store in the refrigerated dairy section. Ask a store clerk if you cannot find it.

March 17, 2011 at 6:44 amHello 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

September 7, 2010 at 8:26 pmHi 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!!

January 25, 2010 at 8:34 amhi 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
Jaya
January 25, 2010 at 2:33 pmCool Whip is sweetened whipped cream. Use in the UK whatever they put on the top of desserts. Cool Whip is just a company name.
KK
April 30, 2010 at 12:51 pmHey 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!

how to make whipped cream in home…….please reply to me………………..
ghazala
November 16, 2009 at 10:29 pmMaking 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!

July 29, 2009 at 10:37 pmcan you tell me what is cool whip?
Jaya
July 30, 2009 at 12:29 pm“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.
