Notes

You can start off with more whipping cream. 3/4 cup whipping cream is just enough to coat the fruits in this recipe and that's how we like it. If you prefer a creamier and richer fruit salad, you can most certainly add 1 to 1.25 cups of whipping cream and sweeten it with condensed milk instead of icing sugar.
