Ingredients
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the strawberries (reserve a few slices for garnish), sugar and lemon juice. Puree until smooth. Push the berry mixture through a sieve and discard the seeds.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream just until stiff peaks form. Take a large spoonful of the whipped cream and stir it into the strawberry puree to lighten the mix. Fold the strawberry mixture gently into the whipped cream. Gently spoon the fool into a chilled serving bowl and garnish with the reserved strawberries and mint leaves. Refrigerate before serving, at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Reviews
This is simple and perfectly balanced. I put some crushed amaretti in the bottom of the glass with a half tablespoon of almond liquor and then grated amaretti over the top before finishing each one with a small strawberry.
This recipe was a great dessert. Not too sweet but very satisfying. Added a drop of vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Whole family loved.
Fool is one of my favourite desserts, and this one is a winner! Loved the additional flavour of the lemon juice. Thank you!
So yummy!
Wondering if I made this into individual tarts with graham cracker crust, would I be able to freeze them?
PHENOMENAL. Initially I doubted such a simplistic recipe could be five star worthy. Also had to resist the urge to add sugar to the heavy whipping cream. So glad I didn’t because finished product was perfectly sweet. I did include a scant teaspoon of vanilla bean paste to the whipped cream. Absolutely delicious!
THIS WAS SO GOOOOOODD! It is so delicious and easy! All of my family enjoyed it and commented that is one of the best desserts they have had. I made this for four people and did large servings to me it was not too much. Mine was very pink and pretty. MAKE THIS
This was really delicious and easy to make. I am not sure what the fool part was but everyone loved it and kept taking more!
This dessert was delicious!! It was nice and light. It was a perfect amount of sweetness! I would 100% make this dessert again
Delish and refreshing. But. Very sweet and sticky!
I skimped on sugar and tweaked with more lemon juice
It’s worth taste testing based on the quality of the berries you are using . Also very rich. Served it in individual parfait glasses but realized that portions should have been much smaller……unless you are under the age of 10!
