Fresh Berry Fool

Fruit fool is an English dessert that is composed of a fruit sauce swirled into sweetened whipped cream.  It is a simple dessert, yet pretty and delicious.  For this Fresh Berry Fool, Chantilly cream – a lightly sweetened whipped cream flavoured with vanilla – is swirled with fresh raspberry or strawberry coulis and topped with a waffle cookie.  Using fresh berries for the coulis makes this dessert bright and refreshing and balances the rich, creaminess of the Chantilly cream.  

Tips for Making Perfect Berry Fool

1. Whip the cream to stiff peaks:  The whipped cream should have stiff peaks to give it structure for layering with the berry coulis.
2. Serve right away:  Since the Chantilly cream in the recipe is not stabilized, it is best to serve the berry fool right after making it.

Recipe Q & A

Q:  Why is my Chantilly cream lumpy? 

 A:  Chantilly cream can become lumpy is the heavy cream is over-whipped.  Only whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

 Q:  Can I substitute the waffle cookie for something else? 

 A:  Yes you can.  Some other great garnishes include chocolate straws and crushed Nilla wafers.
