Comment préparer Fresh Fruit Fool
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the fruit: Peel, core, and slice 2 medium apples (approximately 2 cups). Trim and chop 1 cup rhubarb. Halve and stone 1 cup plums. Top and tail 1 cup gooseberries.
- Combine prepared fruit in a saucepan with ¾ cup caster sugar and ½ cup water.
- Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, or until fruit is very soft.
- While fruit cooks, make the custard: Heat 1 cup heavy cream in a saucepan until almost boiling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, and ¼ cup caster sugar. Gradually whisk in the hot cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Stir constantly until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and immediately cover the surface of the custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Allow the custard to cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator.
- Once the fruit is cooked, puree it using a food processor or blender. Alternatively, press it through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Chill the fruit puree for at least 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the chilled custard into the fruit puree.
- Fold the fruit and custard mixture into the whipped cream until just combined.
- Spoon the fool into tall glasses or parfait dishes.
- Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios or edible flowers and serve with shortbread cookies (Recipe #139166).
