Happy April Fools Day!  No, this isn’t a goofy gag or a silly prank!  This pretty little treat is actually called a fool.  A fool  is an British dessert generally made by mixing pureed fruit, whipped cream and sugar.

Originally the most common fruit ingredient in fools was gooseberries, but I opted for blackberries.  To make this easy {yet very pretty} dessert you simply puree your  fruit and swirl it through the whipped cream.
