Notes
To make your Fruit Cream Delight extra special, brush a thin layer of apricot jam over the fruits before serving for a glossy finish.
It stays fresh for up to 3 days in the fridge, but avoid freezing as the texture may change. Keep fruits separate if storing for more than a day to prevent sogginess.
For a healthier version, consider low-sugar alternatives or a vegan option using plant-based products.
Leftovers can be enjoyed the next day for breakfast—perfect with coffee!
