Strawberry Fool Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb strawberries (stems removed and chopped (about 2 cups))
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 10 of your favorite crunchy cookies (crushed (ladyfingers, vanilla snaps, vanilla wafers, etc))

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the strawberries in a bowl and stir to combine with the sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes. Place the strawberries into a blender and puree just enough to chop the strawberries up into small pieces (do not completely obliterate the strawberries).

2. 2

   Place the heavy whipping cream and sugar into a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer on medium high speed (or a balloon whisk and your arm) to whip the cream to soft peaks.

3. 3

   Mix in however much you like of the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream, leaving some streaks and swirls of the fruit puree behind. I mix in about 3/4 cup of strawberry mixture and find that’s right for me, but taste and add more if you want.

4. 4

   Portion the fruit cream into glasses, and sprinkle generously with the crushed cookies. Serve immediately and enjoy!
