Fruit and Whipped Cream

Sounds pretty easy, doesn't it? It is but it also offers a few variations. You can go for the full effect ( and calories ) or you can make some changes and still have a great dessert.

NEED:
1 small carton of whipping cream **can substitute non dairy topping and use right out of the tub.
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 package of frozen berries ( raspberries, strawberries or a mixed bag )
**you want only fruit.not fruit with sugar added.
***set aside one berry per dessert dish, for garnish, if desired.

Pour whipping cream in large bowl and whip with electric beaters, on high, until it forms stiff peaks. Add the sugar and whip again until the peaks return.
**set aside about 4 tablespoons of whipped cream to use as topping, if you like.
In blender puree the berries.
With a spatula slowly fold the berries into the whipped topping.
Place in fluted wine glasses or other dessert dishes. Chill for 3 hours.
Can garnish with a bit of whipped topping and a berry.

Very easy and very pretty.

ENJOY!
