Strawberry Fool

Strawberry fool is a dessert made by gently folding fresh, mashed strawberries into sweetened whipped cream, resulting in a light, airy, and creamy mixture. The dish is typically chilled until set, with a smooth texture and vibrant color that showcases the fruit's natural juiciness. It is served cold, often garnished with additional strawberries or mint leaves.

3. Gently fold the mashed strawberries into the whipped cream using a spatula, taking care to preserve the airy texture. Mix until well combined but not deflated, creating a swirled, pink mixture.
