A fruit fool is super-versatile. You can use any fruit and a dash of your favourite tipple, whatever that might be. I have used Cointreau. A sweet biscuit or a ginger snap is great for scooping out the bottom of your glass or bowl. You can buy sugar candy (candy
FRESH BERRY FOOL RECIPE
Serves 4-6
1 punnet strawberries, hulled
1 punnet raspberries
2 Tbsp Cointreau (or a bit more)
2 tsp arrowroot mixed with
2 tsp water
200ml cream, lightly whipped
Optional, sugar candy or extra fruit to decorate
- Into a medium-sized pot place the strawberries and raspberries with 1 Tbsp water. Cook on a low heat until softened. Add the Cointreau and arrowroot, cooking until thickened. Blend and cool completely. You can sieve them for a smoother mix, but I don’t.
- Gently fold the puree into the cream and spoon into serving glasses or a large bowl.
- When ready to serve top with extra fruit or, for a special occasion, some sugar candy.
