Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Fresh kiwi
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the kiwis and cut them into small chunks. Reserve one kiwi for garnish if desired.
Place the kiwi chunks into a blender or food processor and add the granulated sugar. Blend until the kiwis form a smooth puree. Taste and adjust sweetness, adding more sugar if needed. Set aside.
In a large, chilled bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment to beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or the cream may become grainy.
Gently fold the kiwi puree into the whipped cream, leaving streaks if you prefer a marbled effect, or mix completely for a uniform green color.
Divide the kiwi fool into individual serving glasses or small bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, optionally slice the reserved kiwi into thin rounds or fan shapes for garnish. Add a fresh mint leaf to each serving for a finishing touch.
Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, tangy delight!
