Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh raspberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Reserve a few fresh raspberries (about 8-10) for garnish and set them aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, place the remaining raspberries and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Use a fork to gently mash the raspberries until they are slightly broken down and the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip as the cream can turn grainy.
Step 5
Gently fold the mashed raspberries into the whipped cream, creating a marbled effect. Do not overmix, as the goal is to have streaks of raspberry throughout the cream.
Step 6
Spoon the raspberry fool mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls.
Step 7
Top each serving with a few reserved whole raspberries and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
