Notes

My Top Tips

♡ Heavy cream can splatter when being whipped so a deep bowl works best.

♡ If you refrigerate the bowl, beaters, and heavy cream, the cream will whip up faster and fluffier.

Make-Ahead & Storage

Make-Ahead: You can prepare the strawberries and whip the cream ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. When ready to serve, simply fold the berry mixture into the whipped cream and spoon it into dessert glasses.

Storage: This Strawberry Fool must be served and eaten within a couple of hours of making it.
