Notes
There are many variations for this recipe. Here are a couple to consider:
1. For RASPBERRY Fool - use 2 cups of raspberries in place of the strawberries, 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 cups of whipping cream. Create the puree, strain as above. Whip the cream, fold in the berry puree. Pipe in serving bowls. Top with single raspberry.
2. For LEMON Fool - use 1-2 cups of lemon curd in place of the strawberries. Omit the sugar and vanilla. Whip 2 cups of cream. Fold in the lemon curd. Pipe in serving bowls.
NOTE: You can completely combine the puree and cream or you can leave streaks of the fruit puree in the cream. Either way, this provides an easy delicious dessert.
