The name of this dessert alone is reason enough to make it. Blueberry fool is foolproof. Ha. Ha. Not funny? Well, I tried.
I’ll split the procedure into steps, just to show you how you’d be foolish not to make it. Ha.
Step 1: Cook blueberries over low heat with sugar. Once they have broken down, remove from heat. (You’re not at all restricted in the fruit selection; you can be foolish with any kind.)
Step 2: Stir in fresh blueberries and fresh lemon juice.
Step 3: While the compote is cooling, whip heavy cream. Once it reaches the soft-peak stage, add a touch of sugar and vanilla extract and continue to whip until firm peaks form.
Step 4: Fold the whipped cream into the blueberry compote. Refrigerate.
Step 5: Eat.
Fool is so easy to make, you could do it blindfolded. (Don’t.) It’s so refreshing and playful, you’ll want to eat it in your underwear. (Do.)
