Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons maple syrup or 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 sprig mint
1 sprig lemon verbena (or piece of lemon peel)
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup berry syrup (see above)
1 cup blueberries
mint (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries,water, maple syrup and herbs.
  • Bring to a simmer over high heat, stirring constantly until the liquid has thickened and berries have popped, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and transfer into a heat-proof bowl or measuring cup and purée using an immersion blender. You can also transfer into a standing blender and purée until smooth.
  • Refrigerate until completely chilled.
  • Make Berry Cream.
  • Whip cream, sugar and salt in a standing mixer or large bowl until stiff peaks form and it starts to look a little lumpy (this is generally considered "over-whipped").
  • Pour in 1/2 cup of chilled bb syrup (reserve remainder for the assembly), and whip on high to incorporate.
  • Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the bowl, then whisk one more time to assure that streaks don't remain.
  • Assemble.
  • Distribute the remaining berries between 4 serving bowls or glasses.
  • Dollop the berry cream over top of each, and drizzle with remaining berry syrup. Finish with an herb garnish. Serve cold.
  • Note: the syrup can be refrigerated in an airtight container for a week, and the berry cream can be made and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. You can assemble the fools ahead of time in the serving vessels minus the syrup and garnish, covered in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

This fool was a total disaster. The blueberries were mushy and the fool was too жидкий. I don't recommend this recipe.

This fool was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

This fool was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's because I used Meyer lemons. I'll try it again with regular lemons next time.

This fool was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used frozen blueberries. I'll try it again with fresh berries next time.

This recipe was so easy to follow, even for a novice cook like me. The fool turned out beautifully and tasted even better than it looked.

I'm not a big fan of blueberries, but this fool was surprisingly delicious. The sweetness of the berries was perfectly complemented by the tartness of the lemon juice.

This blueberry fool was heavenly! The flavors were so well-balanced and the texture was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
