Fruit fool

Fruit fool is a classic English dessert made by combining mashed or puréed fruit with sugar and whipped cream. The dish can be additionally flavored with lavender water or rose water. It was especially popular during the 16th century, and it is believed that its name is derived from the French foule, meaning crushed. Any type of fruit can be used in the dish, such as strawberries, peaches, or plums. It is recommended to garnish it with finely chopped cherries before serving.
