Ruby Plum Fool With Fresh Raspberries Recipes

RASPBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine berries (fresh or thawed & drained) and 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Mix until raspberries are covered. Mash raspberries in bowl until they are pureed. You can also use a blender or food processor if desired. Using a hand or stand mixer, pour heavy cream & 1/4 cup of sugar into new bowl. Mix on high until STIFF peaks form. Fold raspberry puree into whipped cream gently. Do not completely mix raspberries in. You want a good balance between WHITE cream and Pink raspberries, almost ribbon like. Spoon into individual serving dishes, cover with saran wrap and chill for 1 hour. Serve chilled with raspberries garnished on top (if desired).

• Place heavy cream and creme fraiche in a cold bowl. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until mixture has soft peaks and sharp lines, 5 to 8 minutes.

RASPBERRY FOOL RECIPE (EASY NO-BAKE DESSERT)

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, blend the raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Set aside.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form (it took a few minutes).
• Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream. You can partially fold it in so that it has raspberry streaks or you can mix it completely so that it's a pink dessert - either way is great.
• Serve immediately or keep in the fridge for a few hours (this is best served the day of!).
• If desired, top each serving with fresh berries.
