Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh raspberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Reserve a few fresh raspberries (about 8-10) for garnish and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, place the remaining raspberries and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Use a fork to gently mash the raspberries until they are slightly broken down and the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip as the cream can turn grainy.
Gently fold the mashed raspberries into the whipped cream, creating a marbled effect. Do not overmix, as the goal is to have streaks of raspberry throughout the cream.
Spoon the raspberry fool mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls.
Top each serving with a few reserved whole raspberries and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
