Summer Berry Fool

A quick and easy, no-bake dessert made with sweetened whipped cream, a mix of luscious Summer berries and biscuit crumbs. Perfect to make-ahead of time, everyone will fall in love with these creamy, refreshing pots of heaven!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 3 -4 individual desserts

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp icing sugar
  • 8 oz (225g) frozen summer berry mix*
  • 1/4 cup (up to) water, amount needed will depend entirely on how thick your pureed berries are
  • 2 cups (480ml) double/heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) icing sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (60g) crushed shortbread biscuits
  • Extra berries to garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Place icing sugar and frozen berries into a food processor and blitz until smooth. To begin with the mixture will be thick and sorbet like, add water, 1tbsp at a time until you have a thick, yet runny enough mix to spoon into pots easily. Leave to one side.
  • Place cream, vanilla and sifted icing sugar into a medium sized bowl and either whisk by hand, or beat with a hand mixer until thick, creamy and it holds it's shape when you pull the beater out. Leave to one side.
  • Have the crushed biscuits to hand and then get 3-4 individual sized ice cream/dessert bowls ready.
  • Get ready to layer!: Place a heaping tablespoon of the fruit puree into the bottom of each dish, then sprinkle some biscuit crumbs on top. Then place 2 heaping tablespoons of the cream mixture on top of the fruit mixture and smooth over slightly, being careful not to mix the layers together.
  • Repeat the fruit, biscuit, cream mixture until all of the mixture is divided between your dessert bowls. (I made 3 bowls, with 4 layers of fruit puree and 3 layers of cream, but my bowls were quite large)
  • Try to make sure fruit puree is the last layer, then add a few more frozen berries to garnish and finish with another sprinkle of biscuits.
  • Summer Berry Fools will keep covered, in the fridge for 2 days.

Notes

*You can use any mixture of frozen Summer fruit you want, the amount of sugar you add will need to differ depending on how sweet your fruit is.
