Equipment
- Mixing bowl (for strawberries)
- Mixing bowl (for whipping cream)
- Hand mixer (or whisk)
- Knife
- Chopping board
- Measuring spoons
- Spatula or spoon
- Serving glasses or bowls
Ingredients
- 6 medium sized strawberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon lemon juice optional
- 1 cup fresh cream / whipped cream
Instructions
- First, rinse the strawberries thoroughly, remove their leaves, and chop them roughly.
- Place them in a bowl, sprinkle sugar over them, add lemon juice, and mix well.
- Set aside in a plastic in bowl for 10 minutes to let the strawberries release their juices.
- Meanwhile, take cold fresh cream straight from the fridge and whisk it in a separate mixing bowl until it becomes thick with soft peaks—this can be done using a hand mixer.
- Once the cream is whipped, fold in the juicy strawberries gently, reserving a spoonful of the fruit for garnish.
- Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon this mixture into serving glasses, top with the reserved strawberries, and chill until ready to serve.
- Enjoy your Strawberry Fool cold.
Notes
- Cold cream whips faster and yields better texture, so always chill it beforehand.
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best natural flavor—taste before adding sugar.
