Raspberry Fool

Ingredients

1 punnet Raspberries

250ml Double cream

Method

Reserve a couple of raspberries to decorate the top of the dessert

Mash raspberries with icing sugar in a bowl, then push through a sieve (this is called "coulis").

Whip cream until soft (careful not to overbeat), then fold in 3/4 of the raspberry coulis.

Layer the coulis with the fool in a glass and then decorate with raspberries and a drizzle of coulis.
