Equipment

1 Electric whisk to whip cream
1 Large Glass Bowl to whip cream, and mix
6 Dessert Bowls to serve

Ingredients

2.5 cup Watermelon deseeded and cubed
0.75 cup Blueberries
1 pint Heavy cream approx. 470 ml, cold
0.25 cup Sugar
0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

Wash the blueberries and keep them aside.
0.75 cup Blueberries
Cut the watermelon into squares or any desired shape.
2.5 cup Watermelon
Using an electric whisk or beater, whip the heavy cream along with vanilla extract and sugar until stiff peaks are formed.
1 pint Heavy cream, 0.25 cup Sugar, 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
You can serve it in several ways. (1) You can add fruits in a cup, top it off with whipped cream and garnish with additional fruits. (2) In a large serving bowl, add a layer of whipped cream, followed by a layer of watermelon and blueberries, topped with another layer of cream. Garnish the top with additional fruits.
Fruit and Cream is now ready. You may serve it right away, or you can let this rest in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or even overnight. Personally, I feel it tastes the best when it is chill all the way through.

Notes

Vary the amount of fruits as desired in the recipe.
You can substitute water melon with strawberries or raspberries if you like.
Use fresh and ripe fruits: Choose fruits that are in season and at their peak ripeness. This will ensure the fruits are flavorful and have the best texture.
Chill the cream: Cold cream whips up much faster. For best results, chill your cream in the fridge for at least an hour before whipping it.
Chill the bowl and the whisk: To fasten the whipping process, place the bowl and the whisk attachment in the refrigerator for at least an hour along with the cream.
Do not to over-whip the cream: Over-whipping the cream will turn it . Stop whipping when you have achieved the medium-stiff peaks.
Don't mix the fruits too early: When fruits are mixed early, they tend to release moisture and turn mushy. It can also cause the cream to separate in some cases. I like to mix in the chilled fruits just before serving them for the best experience.
Add some sour cream or yogurt to cut through the richness of the cream.
