Fool

Just as nothing says 'English Autumn' like Apple crumble, nothing says 'British Summer' like strawberry fool:

From The Sunday Times
500g strawberries
100g icing (powdered) sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
40g caster (regular) sugar
250ml double cream
250ml greek yoghurt

In a food processor, blitz 400g strawberries with the icing sugar and lemon juice to make a purée. Finely dice the remaining strawberries and sprinkle with the caster sugar. In a large bowl, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks, add the yoghurt, then beat until it thickens. Fold in the strawberry purée and diced strawberries.

Pour into 4 wineglasses or one large glass serving bowl. Refrigerate for 1
hour if in glasses, 2-3 hours if in a bowl.
