fruit fool

Creamy berry pudding

A fruit fool is a simple British dessert of puréed or crushed fruit folded into whipped cream or custard.

The mixture is typically chilled and served in glasses.

Gooseberry fool is the classic version, though any soft fruit works: We made a raspberry fool with berries from the garden.

The name likely comes from the French *fouler*, to crush.
