Equipment
These kitchen utensils are required for this recipe:
- microwave safe bowl
- spoon
- hand mixer

Storage
The sweet treat can be stored for up to 3 days without any problems. It will last up to a week but the foam might deflate a bit.

This will add a fruity crunch to the little treat.
If you'd like a creamy element in your dessert, rather than using foam, you can use whipped cream.
