Chef John's Fresh Berry Fool
64k
Chef John
"While certainly not light on the calorie counter, this berry fool (from the French 'fouler' meaning 'to mash') is shockingly airy on the palate. It's that contrast between the rich, fluffy cream and the syrupy, tangy fruit that makes this so much greater than the sum of its parts. Fresh berries are a classic, but this would work with peeled, diced, ripe peaches."

This was a fantastic dessert! I couldn't find creme fraiche so I substituted full-fat plain greek yogurt. It was great! I served it when having company and got great reviews! I'll make it again!

I liked it, but think I would make it strawberries only and more berries. I also think I will use more sugar and try confectionary sugar.
