Strawberry Elderflower Fool
A fool is one of the simplest desserts to make — fresh strawberries are lightly crushed and folded through whipped cream, with elderflower cordial stirred in for a floral, honey-like fragrance. No baking is required, and the whole thing is ready in about 15 minutes. Serve it chilled in glasses for a light finish to a meal.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Spatula
- Serving glasses or bowls
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar granulated
- 1 cup heavy cream chilled
- 2 tablespoons elderflower cordial or syrup
Instructions
- Place the sliced strawberries in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the strawberries to macerate and release their juices.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can use a hand mixer for ease.
- Gently fold the elderflower cordial into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Layer the macerated strawberries and elderflower cream into serving glasses or bowls, finishing with a dollop of the cream on top.
Notes
- For a slightly tart twist, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the strawberry mixture.
- If elderflower cordial is unavailable, a few drops of vanilla extract can be substituted for a different flavor profile.
