In the bowl of a stand mix (or a large bowl with a hand mixer) add heavy cream and icing sugar and run on medium speed for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it around the 8-minute mark, it will be done when you have stiff peaks. Taste and add more icing sugar as desired. Set aside.
Fill your first container with about ⅓ cup strawberries, ½ cup whipped cream, and ½ cup of blueberries. Repeat with the remaining 3 cups.
If desired, top with an additional dollop of whipped cream and a strawberry.

For the best results, use a cold mixing bowl when making whipped cream. If your bowl doesn’t fit in your fridge, you can add very cold water and some ice and leave it for 5-10 minutes, then dry and use!
Add more icing sugar if you prefer a sweeter whipped cream.
The fresher the fruit, the better the flavor and texture.
This easy dessert is best enjoyed fresh to keep the whipped cream fluffy and the fruit vibrant.
Prep the fruit and whipped cream separately in advance, then assemble just before serving.
These are perfect to bring to summer barbecues or summer picnics! I like to place my cups in a baking dish to prevent them from falling over during transport. If you have extra space, you can make a grid with masking tape or add some tea towels in between to fill the gaps.
