Raspberry Fool
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb fresh raspberries
- 4 Tbls caster sugar superfine granulated
- 1/4 pt fresh double cream heavy cream
- 5 floz plain yoghurt
- a few fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Crush the raspberries with a stainless steel or silver fork in a china or glass bowl.
- Mix them with the sugar and put them on one side for 10 minutes. The sugar on the raspberries will draw out juice and bright colour.
- Beat the double cream until it is thick, then, tablespoon by tablespoon, beat the yoghurt into it. The yoghurt will not thin it down; if you beat it each time you put in a dollop of yoghurt, it will bulk back up again. It allows you to have twice the amount of cream, as it were, with only half the amount of fat.
- Swirl the raspberry and sugar mixture into the cream and yoghurt - do not mix it so thoroughly that it looks like pink yoghurt, swirl it in so that it is marbled.
- It looks beautiful. Pour it into glasses so you can see the marbled effect, decorate each one with a sprig of mint and put to set in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- You can leave it for up to 12 hours without any deterioration.
