In a medium bowl, whip cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. Reserve about 1/2 cup (125 mL) for topping dessert if desired. 4. Fold bean mixture into remaining whipped cream just until blended. 5. Fill individual serving dishes or layer with fresh fruit in a larger bowl. Chill before serving. Serve with additional whipped cream and fruit, if desired.
