Questions people ask about Fruit Salad with Cream
How long does Fruit Salad with Cream take?
About 15 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.
What can I use instead of cream in Fruit Salad with Cream?
Use full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version, or whole milk thickened with 1 tsp cornflour. Neither is as stable, so add them off the heat.
Can I make Fruit Salad with Cream ahead of time?
You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.
Is Fruit Salad with Cream vegetarian?
Yes, it is vegetarian. It is not vegan as written because it contains dairy; swap the dairy for a plant alternative and the rest of the method is unchanged.
Can I make Fruit Salad with Cream without an oven?
That is exactly what this recipe is for. It uses a pressure cooker, a pan or the fridge instead of an oven, and the method here is written for that, not adapted from a baked version.
What do you serve with Fruit Salad with Cream?
Serve it in a hollowed melon or pineapple if people are coming. Baking is chemistry, so scale it by weight rather than by eye: double every quantity, use a tin with roughly double the area, and expect to add ten minutes or so. Judge it by the skewer, not the clock.
