A fool is a classic British and Irish dessert that's usually made with whipped cream and cooked fruit. Try my quick version with rhubarb and berries. —Cheryl Miller, Fort Collins, Colorado

Ingredients

3 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb (1-inch pieces)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
Dash salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups fresh strawberries, halved

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, sugar, orange juice and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 6-8 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Cool slightly.
Process rhubarb mixture in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate, covered, until cold.
Just before serving, in a large bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Lightly fold in pureed rhubarb and strawberries.

This is the most yummy exquisite tasting dessert in man's written history!!! I love it and everyone who has eaten it loves it. The only thing I did differently I used 2 Cups whipping cream which I whipped with 3 heaping Tbsp powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Folded in the rhubarb and s'berries and thought I had died and gone to heaven!

I love how simple fools are to make. This is an interesting take on one. I think the rhubarb makes this a little to tart, combined with the orange juice. I would try to again with something else, like kiwi, instead of the rhubarb.
