How to Make A Fool For Strawberries
- Combine 2 cups frozen strawberries and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a blender. Pulse on and off until the strawberries are coarsely pureed but still retain some texture.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or your favorite extract).
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the strawberry mixture until just combined.
- Divide the strawberry fool into parfait glasses or individual serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely.
- Before serving, garnish each serving with a few threads of orange zest and a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds (optional).
- Yields approximately 4 servings.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
