Note

Ensure the rosamarina is thoroughly drained and cooled before adding it to the whipped cream to prevent the cream from deflating.

For best texture, keep the bowl and beaters chilled before whipping the cream.

This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the celery and grapes may become softer over time.

If rosamarina is unavailable, you can substitute with another firm fruit that holds its shape when simmered, such as quince or firm pears.
