04 - 2 tablespoons ultra-fine sugar (optional)

# Additional Notes:

01 - If you don't have all-purpose or table cream, you can use stabilized whipped cream (dissolved gelatin added to fresh whipped cream) as alternative.
02 - Plain yogurt can be used if you want to reduce calories and fat.
03 - Cool Whip can be used too, if you omit the added sugar.
04 - Chill canned table cream for at least 30 minutes. If you live in a hot climate, chill in the freezer for at least 1 hour during summer.
05 - Use a colander when washing fresh fruits.
