Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream

Directions:

1. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

💡 Homemaking Hint: Kiwifruit adds a colorful touch to salads, entrées, and desserts. It contains an enzyme that prevents gelatin from setting, so only use it as a garnish on gelatin dishes. While fresh milk may curdle, kiwifruit pairs beautifully with ice cream and many dairy-based treats!

🍨 Substitutions & Tips

• Swap meringue shells for sponge cake cups for a softer base.
• Use powdered sugar or vanilla extract in the whipped cream for extra flavor.
• Top with other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or mandarin oranges for variety.
