Raspberry Fool

(Raspberries and Cream)

Raspberry Fool is a quick and easy raspberry dessert recipe. It’s essentially raspberries and cream that’s been swirled together to make an elegant treat!

Prep Time: 15 minutes 

Total Time: 15 minutes 

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Driscoll's raspberries 12 ounce package
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 cups whipping cream
• ¼ cup confectioners sugar powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract*

Instructions:

• Puree 1 ½ cups of the Driscoll's raspberries in a food processor or blender with the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
• In a large bowl, add the cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric hand mixer or whisk by hand until stiff peaks form.
• With a rubber spatula, gently fold in ¾ of the pureed raspberries into the whipped cream mixture, leaving visible swirls. Gently fold in the rest of the puree but be careful not to overmix. Spoon the fool into 4-6 glass cups or small bowls. Top with additional raspberries and serve.

Notes:

*I added vanilla to this batch of cream, but I thought about giving almond extract, a tablespoon of brandy, or even orange-flavored liquer a try.

Such GREAT posts @ChiliPepper 

Thank you!!

I copied and copied!

You are so talented with that jar arrangement!!!!!  I would have never thought to do anything like that.

So everything inside is faux?

@RespectLife 

Yes, everything inside the one with the lid is faux.

Here is a little one with real Hens & Chickens:

Oh @ChiliPepper 

That is fantastik!!!  so cute!

I saved a very fancy Slatkin candle jar that for once, doesn't have his name all over it.

I want to do 'something' with a light Thanksgiving/Fall theme for a center piece for one of my additional tables.

Something elegant.....

The only thing is...I have zero talent and NO creativity.  All I can do really is buy a foam thing and stuff faux flowers in it...and not very pretty.

If you have any ideas, or pictures....I'd love any thoughts you or anyone else may have!!!

NATIONAL RICE PUDDING DAY

On August 9, many enjoy their favorite dish on National Rice Pudding Day. We recommend celebrating today's food holiday by eating this delicious pudding. Use the opportunity to give it a taste if you've never tried it before! 

 

A variety of recipes exist for rice pudding. All of them include cooked rice as the base ingredient and combine a milk (such as cow's, coconut, evaporated, or cream) with bread. Sugar, molasses, or honey gives the pudding a sweet taste along with other flavors such as vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Eggs hold the dish together, and butter gives it a rich, creamy consistency. 

While many enjoy rice pudding as a dessert, it's also ideal for breakfast or as a side dish. Add fruit, nuts, raisins, or enjoy it with whipped cream. Since there are so many recipes for rice pudding, the opportunity to sample more than one presents itself.

After being baked, serve the pudding hot or cold. Add fresh fruit, nuts, or whipped topping. However, raisins are traditional.

Other spices, such as nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, and even cayenne, add variety to rice pudding recipes.

Citrus zests bring brightness to the dessert that can, at times, be rich and heavy to the palate. Although most recipes call for sugar, alternatives include monk fruit, agave syrup, or palm sugar.

DH LOVES rice pudding!

I haven't made it since I tried it in the IP and it oozed everywhere!  What a mess!

I used to use the Old Betty Crocker cookbook baked recipe.
