Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Confectionery
- 5 full-sized Snickers bars
- 1/4 cup caramel topping (optional, for drizzling)
Dairy
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Sweeteners and Stabilisers
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash, core, and dice the Granny Smith apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss them immediately with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning, then transfer the coated apples to a large mixing or serving bowl.
- Chop the Snickers: Cut the 5 full-sized Snickers bars into small, bite-sized pieces. Add these pieces to the bowl containing the apples.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip 2 cups of heavy cream along with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch while whipping. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Combine the Salad: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the bowl containing the apples and Snickers pieces. Toss carefully so that all ingredients are evenly coated without crushing the apples or Snickers bits.
- Chill and Serve: Place the combined salad in the refrigerator and chill until ready to serve. When serving, drizzle with optional caramel topping for an extra sweet touch and enjoy this creamy, crunchy dessert salad.
Notes
- Using lemon juice on apples prevents them from browning and keeps the salad looking fresh.
- To ensure the whipped cream holds its shape, adding cornstarch is essential for stability.
- For a different flavor twist, try using other caramel or chocolate-based toppings as a drizzle.
- This salad is best served chilled and should be consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of powdered sugar or caramel topping.
