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

This Strawberry Fool must be served and eaten within a couple of hours of making it. However, you can prepare the strawberries and whip the cream ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to two hours. When ready to serve, simply fold the berry mixture into the whipped cream and spoon it into dessert glasses.
