Strawberry Fool (Light)

Recipe #134216 | 2¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

A traditional Fool is made with generous amounts whipped heavy cream with fruit gently folded in. This lighter alternative uses sour cream and yogurt and originated in Cooking Light. I have adapted it a bit to my own tastes and preferences.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine strawberries and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cover and chill 2 hours.
  2. 2
    Combine brown sugar, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract and yogurt and sour cream in a blender. Blend for a minute or two so that the sugars are blended in and you have incorporated a bit of air in the dairy mix. (i've also done this with an immersion blender.) Turn out into a covered bowl and chill for 2 hours.
  3. 3
    Just before serving, gently fold the strawberry mixture into the yogurt mixture until swirled.

    Very good, very tasty, very easy, so light and so beautiful! I used only low fat greek yogurt and almond extract! The cream was fantastic! Its a keeper and now that strawberries are in season its my favorite dessert. Thanks for sharing another great recipe Toni!
