If you need a quick, refreshing, and creamy sweet treat but don’t want to turn on the oven, this Blender Fruit Dessert is your perfect solution. Using simple ingredients like fresh berries, cream, and condensed milk, you can blend up a luxurious mousse-like dessert in just 5 minutes. It is the ultimate effortless sweet treat for warm summer days, parties, or a quick midnight craving.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mint leaves for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Blend the Berries: Place the berries in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. If using raspberries or blackberries and you want a smooth texture, strain the puree through a mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Add Cream and Milk: Add the sweetened condensed milk, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract directly into the blender with the berry puree.
- Blend Until Thick: Blend on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and holds its shape slightly. The whipping cream will aerate and thicken as it blends.
- Portion and Chill: Pour the mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes) to let it set.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves before serving cold.
Tips and Notes
- Use Cold Cream: Make sure the heavy whipping cream is ice-cold straight from the fridge. Warm cream will not whip up or thicken properly in the blender.
- Freeze for Ice Cream: Pour the blended mixture into a loaf pan and freeze for 4 hours to transform this creamy dessert into an easy homemade berry ice cream!
