Strawberry Fool (Ghana) image

This recipe has been posted for ZWT II & my source is africa.upenn.edu/Cookbook/Dessert. The intro says: "The term "fool" (also Egyptian for lentils) comes from the English & means essentially a fruit puree folded into a soft custard or whipped cream. You may begin w/any good custard recipe, vanilla pudding or whipped cream." Later he said there were 3 African Fools: Strawberry Fool (Ghana), Peach Fool (Liberia) & Peanut Fool (Nigeria).

This was my first time making strawberry fool, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and it was easy to follow. The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar, as I found it to be a bit tart for my taste.
