Berry Mascarpone Fool
Cookbook
This pretty dessert can be made with any berries of your choice.
Yield : 4 servings
Prep Time : 15 mins, plus chilling
Ingredients
- 12 oz (350g) raspberries, or blackberries or sliced strawberries
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup mascarpone, at room temperature
- Mint leaves for garnish
- Blueberries, for garnish
Directions
1. Reserve a few berries for garnish. Purèe the remaining berries and sugar in a food processor or blender. Strain through a sieve to remove any seeds. The purèe should be quite thick. Add the lemon juice.
2. Whisk the cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Whisk the mascarpone in another bowl to soften it. Fold the mascarpone into the cream. Stir half of the berry purèe into the cream mixture.
3. Divide the berry purèe among 4 glasses and top with the cream mixture. Garnish each with the reserved berries and a mint leaf. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until chilled. Serve cold.
Notes
Prepare ahead:
The fools can be refrigerated overnight. Fruit purèes: If you do not have a food processor or blender, you can use a hand mixer or purèe fruits by hand, although it will take a little more effort. Mash the fruits with a fork, then push through a sieve, for a smooth texture.
