Strawberry Fool image

This Minimalist recipe is as basic as dessert gets, and especially in strawberry season it's just perfect. It is essentially fresh strawberries and whipped cream (substitute heavy cream, sour cream or yogurt). It can be eaten right away or refrigerated. Only a fool would pass this up.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pint strawberries
1/2 cup sugar, or to taste
1 cup heavy cream

  • Hull strawberries, then wash them and chop into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Toss with half the sugar, and wait 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they give up their juices.
  • Place half the strawberries and all the juice in a blender, and puree. Pour puree back in bowl with chopped strawberries.
