Strawberry Fool Recipe

1 Tablespoon Cointreau, or other orange flavored liqueur (optional)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
How To Make Strawberry Fool
If using fresh strawberries, hull and slice and place in bowl. Add optional orange liqueur, sugar and set aside in the fridge for a few hours.
If using thawed frozen strawberries, place in blender, and whir on high until pureed. Refrigerate for a few hours.
Just before assembling the Strawberry Fool, whip heavy cream on high with an electric mixer until you have stiff peaks.
Fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream very carefully.
Spoon the Strawberry Fool into pretty parfait glasses, swirling at the top. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Decorate with a large chocolate covered strawberry, extra whipped cream and a sprig of mint, or drizzle with chocolate ganache.
Make 4 servings. Refrigerate any leftovers. Best eaten the same day.
