Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blackberries

Base

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)

Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berries: Wash all berries thoroughly under cold water and pat dry gently. Hull and slice the strawberries for consistent size with the other berries to ensure a balanced flavor and texture in every bite.
  2. Make the Fluffy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream, vanilla yogurt, and honey. Gently fold the ingredients together until smooth and airy, creating the light, fluffy texture that defines this salad.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Carefully fold the prepared berries and mini marshmallows into the fluffy base. Mix gently to coat everything evenly without crushing the berries, preserving their vibrant texture and appearance.
  4. Chill and Garnish: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least one hour to enhance the flavors and maintain freshness. Before serving, sprinkle chopped nuts and fresh mint leaves on top for added crunch and aroma.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, ripe berries for the best taste and juiciness.
  • Gently fold ingredients to maintain the fluffy texture and keep berries intact.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by tasting the base mixture before combining.
  • Use cold ingredients and chilled utensils to help achieve optimal whipped cream texture.
