What each ingredient does
- Heavy cream
- Whipped into a foam that holds air, giving the dessert its light, airy texture.
- Fresh fruit
- Adds fruity flavor and acidity, and its juice loosens the cream slightly when folded in.
The step that matters
Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Stop at soft peaks: whipping further causes the fat globules to clump and turn grainy or buttery. Folding in fruit then deflates the foam, so a stable base matters.
