Real Cream Berry Salad - My Recipe Treasures (2024)

Real cream and berry salad is one that my mother-in-law use to make, however, she would use lemon pudding. My husband is not big on lemon and so I decided to use vanilla. You could also use coconut and I think that it would taste amazing.

I put 4 different kinds of berries in this salad, but I usually only use 3. I had all 4 at the time and because it makes for a funner picture, that is what I did. You do not have to.

Another idea is if you can only find two different berries, just before serving, you could add bananas. That would be delicious. I could just sit and eat the whole bowl of this amazing real cream berry salad. It is one of my favorites.

And if you want to get real creative, you could add mandarin oranges or apples. You just might want to experiment for yourself.

Last week my father-in-law had to have a stent put in his heart because he was having chest pain. He had the procedure done the week before, but it didn’t help. So he went back and had another artery done and it did the trick.

I had to laugh, because when he came out and woke up he was starving. Guess what he had, a chicken sandwich, tater tots, chocolate pudding and he did have a small green salad too with his dressing! Ha ha!

We were very relieved that he was doing better, but I guess when you are 83 years old, you can have what you want for dinner. He had no restrictions.

My husband and I have tried to eat a little healthier and so I don’t do tots and fries. Hoping that when I am older, I do not have to have heart surgery. I am pretty sure that real cream berry salad would be on a diet for heart health, because the berries are so good for you. 😉 I am sure that they are at least a step above tots and fries.

What is the Difference Between Cool Whip and Real Whipping Cream?

Cool Whip:

• Cool Whip was invented in 1966, and its main selling point was that it could be shipped and stored frozen.
• While it was originally dairy-free, making it a good choice for the lactose intolerant, it was recently reformulated to include skim milk and cream.
• Cool Whip contains hydrogenated vegetable oil and high-fructose corn syrup, as well as regular corn syrup, stabilizers, emulsifiers, flavorings, and colorings.

Next week we celebrate the 24th of July here in Utah, which is the day that the Pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley and first settled.

It reminds me of my great, great grandfather who crossed the plains. He lost 9 children and his wife to cholera, malaria, and consumption. My son served a mission for our church for two years. He went to Uganda Africa, and when he came home, he had malaria.

As I thought about how blessed we are now days and the things that we take for granted, I thanked my Heavenly Father for allowing my son the opportunity to get over his malaria. Sometimes he will still have a flare up and his fever will spike, but he is alive and well.

What a blessed world we live in and how grateful I am that people have come up with medicine and different ways to save lives. I hope that you get a chance to make this real cream berry salad, and spend some time with your loved ones. Keep enjoying your summer and may God bless you all.
