Whipped cream fruit salad is the perfect holiday side dish or dessert! It's made with fresh fruit like grapes, bananas and apples and homemade whipped cream, sweetened with a bit of honey, so this dish is perfect for the whole family. Serve with your turkey holiday dinners or as a part of your regular weeknight dinner menu.
Peel and chop fruit and dates and set them aside in a large mixing bowl. (Note: NOT your serving bowl.)
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, whip whipping cream on high speed until peaks begin to form.
Once the cream is whipped, add in honey and mix for another minute. Taste test and add more honey if you prefer it to be sweeter.
Add whipped cream to your fruit and stir to coat fruit.
Then transfer to a serving bowl. Refrigerate if not serving right away.
