Strawberry and Amaretti Fool
Fool is a no-cook British dessert that combines whipped cream and fruit for a light, almost effortless treat. To make this spring-inspired version, we first macerate strawberries with sugar. This enhances the berries’ flavor, softens their texture and yields a ruby-colored syrup that’s drizzled over the finished fool. Small amounts of salt and black pepper give the dessert depth, and adding yogurt to the whipped cream provides stability and subtle tang. Amaretti are crisp, airy Italian cookies with an almond flavor; if you can’t find them, roasted pistachios are a good alternative for adding crunch.

5
tablespoons packed light brown sugar, divided

01In a large bowl, toss the berries with 3 tablespoons of the sugar and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Let stand for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about one-quarter of the berries to a small bowl; reserve for garnish. Using a potato masher, mash the remaining berries until only a few chunks remain. Pour the berries into a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium bowl. In the now-empty large bowl, combine the cream, yogurt, vanilla, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and a pinch of salt. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip to soft peaks. Fold the mashed berries into the cream; reserve the juices in the bowl. Divide the cream mixture among 4 serving glasses, then top with the reserved unmashed berries. Refrigerate uncovered for 30 to 60 minutes. Drizzle the reserved juices over the fools and sprinkle with the amaretti.
