Raspberry fool
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This dessert is a perfect addition to any brunch or afternoon tea, especially since it's prepared in just a few minutes. Fruit fool is a delicate and very light spring-summer dessert that is more than just fruit with sugar-sweetened whipped cream. Fool can be made with almost any kind of fruit, including stone fruits such as mango or peaches. However, it turns out best with berries, especially strawberries or raspberries. Serve chilled.
