There’s probably no one who hates desserts. We may not like every kind of sweet dish, but each one of us has a soft spot for at least one. As Indians, we can’t think of finishing our meals without getting something sweet. One of the irresistible treats that is a favourite among millions is fruit cream. It is generally seen that most people confuse fruit cream with custard. The difference between the two lies in the use of ingredients and method of cooking. Fruit cream is a luscious dessert prepared by whipping up cream and sugar and topping it off with loads of fruits and nuts. Custard, on the other hand, is prepared using milk, sugar and custard powder. So, who’s in a mood for a bowl of fruit cream? These five hacks will make you a pro, we promise!
Make It With Loads Of Fruits
Take at least 5-6 different types of fruits and chop them into small pieces before adding them into a bowl of cream. You can add apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, cherries and many more. Depending on the season, pick the best fruits that can make your fruit cream tastier and creamier.
Beat The Mixture To A Mildly Thick Consistency
Whisk and beat the mixture of cream and sugar using a blender until the stiff peaks are formed. The final consistency of the mixture must be mildly thick and ultra-creamy.
Don’t Forget To Use Fresh Cream
Whether you are using store-bought cream or whipping it at home, always make sure to use a fresh cream. The overall taste of this dessert depends entirely on the kind of cream you are using
Use Rose Water For Additional Flavours And Aroma
If you have rose water, add a few drops of it into the mixture. Rose water with its pleasing aroma and taste can bring out extra sweetness and balance out the tart flavours.
Garnish With Nuts And Raisins
Garnishing is the best way to enhance the look of any dish by making it more tempting. Once your fruit cream is ready, top it off with chopped nuts and raisins. You can also drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top, if you want.
