Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Mix 200 ml liquid cream et 25 g Vanilla sugar, and whip as for whipped cream (Chantilly).

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Add 150 ml Fruit coulis (fruit purée), apricot in this case.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Fold in gently with a maryse, to mix well while keeping the air bubbles in the cream, so that the texture will be light.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Serve the fool in glasses, adding a little fruit coulis on top to decorate.

Remarks

Of course, you can make this dessert with any seasonal fresh fruit that you have available. It's particularly good in a blackcurrant or raspberry version.

This dessert can be kept for an hour or two once made, but should be covered with a plastic film and refrigerated.

For a rather more sophisticated version, you can add small pieces of shortbread or finger biscuits after the apricot coulis.

Keeping

Several hours in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
