Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh strawberries
- 60 ml orange juice
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 300 ml heavy cream
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 4 leaves fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, add the chopped strawberries, orange juice, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, blend the strawberry mixture into a smooth purée using a blender or immersion blender. Set it aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 5
Gently fold in the orange zest to the whipped cream for a citrusy aroma and flavor.
Step 6
Layer the dessert by spooning a small amount of the strawberry purée into serving glasses or bowls. Add a layer of whipped cream, then repeat with another layer of purée and cream as desired, finishing with a dollop of cream on top.
Step 7
Chill the layered fools in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
Step 8
Before serving, garnish each fool with a small dollop of strawberry purée, a sprinkle of orange zest, and a fresh mint leaf if desired.
Step 9
Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing dessert!
