Ingredients
Please see recipe card at the bottom of this post for the full recipe details.
1. Fruit
A summer mix of strawberries, kiwis, pineapple and oranges makes this dish the perfect combination of refreshing and sweet!
2. Powdered Sugar
Powdered sugar (also called confectioners sugar) adds a slightly elevated sweetness with that classic melt-in-your-mouth texture. For the cleanest option, look for organic or tapioca-based versions without cornstarch, or blend your own at home for a simple, from-scratch swap that keeps ingredients wholesome and allergy-friendly.
