Creamy, luscious, smooth base to stir a wonderful pile of fruit into. This is a great dish to take to a potluck, or share as a summery dessert. You could even scoop this over angel food cake as a variation. But it doesn't need anything more than a spoon! Don't combine too far in advance, as the cream mixture may absorb liquid from the fruit and start to break down.
