Ingredients

• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Apple (cubed)
• 1 large Banana (sliced)
• 1 cup Strawberries (halved)
• 1 cup Grapes (seedless)
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
• 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, pour the chilled whipping cream. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream, and gently fold or whisk until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3

Prepare all the fruits by washing, peeling (if necessary), and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Add the apples, bananas, strawberries, grapes, and pineapple chunks to a large salad bowl.

Step 4

Drizzle the orange juice over the fruit to prevent browning and add a subtle citrus zing. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.

Step 5

Pour the whipped cream mixture over the prepared fruits. Using a spatula, fold the cream gently into the fruit until well-coated. Take care not to crush the delicate fruits.

Step 6

Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let it chill and the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Before serving, optionally sprinkle chopped nuts on top for added crunch and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 8

Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful and creamy fruit salad!
