    Strawberry Fool

    Published: Aug 4, 2016 · by Nisha

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    The reason I chose this dessert is because of its name. "Fool".  Such an amusing name for a sinful decadence.  But unfortunately the etymology of the name is ambiguous. Fool is an English dessert made with Custard and stewed fruit. The earliest recipe of fruit fool is from the 17th Century and the gooseberry fool was the most common one. But you can add any stewed fruit to make a "Fool".
    One of the simplest and easiest dessert to make. Perfect for a sunny day.
