Ingredients

• Italia grapes to taste
• 300g strawberries
• 2 apples
• 3 bananas
• 800g sweetened condensed milk
• 400g heavy cream
• 2 packets unflavored gelatin
• 8 tablespoons water
• Freezer (for 2 hours freezing)

Step by Step Instructions

• Step 1

  

  In a large and beautiful dish, begin by laying the fruit base. Add the whole Italia grapes, previously washed and dried. The grapes will add a crunchy texture and a slightly sweet flavor that perfectly complements the other fruits.

• Step 2

  

  Next, slice three kiwis into thin rounds. Kiwi brings a refreshing acidity to the dessert, along with its vibrant color, which will add visual appeal and texture to the dish.

• Step 3

  

  Now, cut two apples into thin slices. To prevent the apples from browning, you can drizzle them lightly with lemon juice. The apples provide a delicious crunch that pairs well with the sweetness of the cream, creating a balanced combination of flavors.

• Step 4

  

  Peel and slice three bananas. The bananas add a soft texture and natural sweetness that pairs well with the fruits and cream.

• Step 5

  

  In a separate bowl, start preparing the cream. Add 800g of sweetened condensed milk, which will serve as the creamy, sweet base of our dessert.

• Step 6

  

  Next, add 400g of heavy cream to the sweetened condensed milk. The heavy cream will balance the sweetness of the condensed milk, making the cream lighter and smoother.

• Step 7

  

  Stir this mixture well using a whisk until it becomes smooth and creamy. It’s important to mix thoroughly to ensure the cream is well incorporated without any lumps.

• Step 8

  

  Now, in a separate small cup, prepare the unflavored gelatin. Dissolve two packets of gelatin in eight tablespoons of water. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved and lump-free. This gelatin will give the cream the necessary firmness to hold its shape after refrigeration.

• Step 9

  

  Add the dissolved gelatin to the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream mixture, stirring continuously until everything is well combined. The gelatin will help the cream acquire a firm yet light and airy texture.

• Step 10

  

  With the cream ready, pour it over the fruits already placed in the dish. Ensure that the cream covers all the fruits well, so that the sweet and smooth cream mixes with the tartness and freshness of the fruits.

• Step 11

  

  Place the dish in the freezer for about 2 hours. This freezing time will allow the dessert to set and acquire a firm and chilled texture, making it the perfect refreshing treat for hot days. After removing from the freezer, the dessert will be ready to serve.

• Step 12

  

  After two hours in the freezer, take out the dessert and admire the result. The mix of fresh fruits with the chilled cream and the firm texture from the gelatin creates a beautiful and delicious dessert that is sure to impress your guests. Serve immediately and enjoy!
