Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 200 gram strawberries
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • mint leaves and strawberries for garnishing

Dairy

  • 200 millilitres double cream, whipped
  • 150 gram Greek yogurt

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 3 tablespoon rose syrup (optional)
  • 4 tablespoon icing sugar (adjust according to sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash and pat dry the strawberries thoroughly, then place them in a large bowl ready for mashing.
  2. Macerate Strawberries: Add the rose syrup and lemon juice to the strawberries and mash them using a fork or potato masher until the strawberries are broken down. Stir well, then refrigerate to chill and let the flavors meld.
  3. Sweeten Yogurt: In a separate bowl, mix the icing sugar thoroughly into the Greek yogurt until completely smooth and sweetened.
  4. Combine Cream and Yogurt: Gently fold the whipped double cream into the sweetened Greek yogurt until evenly combined to create a light creamy mixture.
  5. Incorporate Strawberries: Carefully fold the macerated strawberry mixture into the cream and yogurt blend, mixing slowly to maintain a light texture.
  6. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and let the assembled fool chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the dessert to firm up slightly.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Spoon or pour the chilled Strawberry Fool into serving bowls or glasses, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and sliced strawberries for an appealing presentation.
