Strawberry Fool

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste

3 cups sliced fresh Strawberries

1 1/2 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Extra Strawberries

Directions

Place chilled heavy cream and vanilla bean paste in a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer.

Beat until light and fluffy, being careful not to overheat.

Set aside or chill until ready to use. (You might need to whisk it or beat it again for a few seconds if you don't use it right away and it separates.)

Place half of the strawberries in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and add vanilla extract.

Mash the strawberries, leaving some larger chunks. Stir in the remaining strawberries. Let stand for a few minutes.

Add about 1/3 of the strawberry mixture to the whipped cream, swirling in with a large silicone spatula (it doesn't need to be completely blended).

Reserve the remaining strawberries to use when assembling in the dessert dishes.

Spoon some of the reserved strawberries into six serving glasses or dishes.

Then, top with some of the strawberry cream mixture.

After that, add another layer of the reserved strawberries mixture, and then another spoonful or two of the cream.

Top with extra strawberries for garnish.

Serve immediately, or place in fridge to chill until ready to serve.
