TIPS
I use whatever fruits are in season such as raspberries, blackberries or even peaches. You can even try tropical fruits such as papaya, banana, mango and kiwis for a change of pace.
A stand mixer is best for this recipe, but if you just have handheld beaters, getting to stiff peaks takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
