Steps:
- Begin by tossing the chopped strawberries with the granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Add the heavy cream to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and whip until soft peaks form.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla to the whipped cream and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Remove the whipped cream from the bowl and add it to another large bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese and 2 cups of the chopped strawberries to the bowl of the stand mixer or bowl you whipped the cream in.
- Whip on high speed for 2 to 3 min. or until the cream cheese is light and fluffy and the strawberries have broken down.
- Gently fold 2/3 of the whipped cream into the strawberry-cream cheese mixture until combined.
- To assemble the fools, spoon about 1/3 cup of the strawberry cream into each of 8 parfait glasses. Sprinkle on some of the remaining chopped strawberries, blueberries and crushed graham crackers. Top each with another 1/3 cup dollop of the strawberry cream.
- Garnish with the remaining whipped cream and a few berries before serving.

MIXED BERRY FOOL (REDUCED CALORIE)
I got this reduced-calorie recipe from Family Circle magazine. According to the magazine, "English cooks made the original fools with pureed gooseberries folded into whipped cream, but mixed berries are also irresistible." The prep time does not include 50 minutes for freezing.

CHEF JOHN'S FRESH BERRY FOOL
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.
