Ingredients
Summer Fruit
- 2 cups strawberries, cut in quarters
- 2 cups peaches, chopped (about 2-3 peaches)
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- juice from half a large lemon
- 2 tbsp sugar
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup mascarpone (you can usually find this in the cheese aisle at the grocery store)
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
- Wash, cut and chop the strawberries and peaches. Wash the blueberries and raspberries. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl.
- Next, juice half of the lemon into a small bowl and add the 2 tbsp sugar. Whisk to combine and then pour over the fruit. Gently mix the fruit and set aside.
- Using an electric mixer add the heavy whipping cream into the mixing bowl. Turn the mixer to medium for a few seconds to start, then turn up to high and let the mixer do its magic until stiff peaks have formed in the bowl, about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add 1 cup of mascarpone and whip for 30 seconds to 1 minute until combined and peaks still form.
- Add in the vanilla bean paste and icing sugar. Whip for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until combined. Taste and add in more icing sugar if you prefer a sweeter whipped cream – you can adjust to your liking.
- Then, serve the fruit in individual bowls or small plates, topped with a dollop of whipped cream!
Notes
Substitute for the vanilla bean paste; use 1 tbsp honey or 1 tsp vanilla extract.
