"A fool is an English dessert that can be flavored with just about anything. Here we opt for fresh strawberries, but you can swap in ripe mango, raspberries, blackberries, peaches—you get the idea. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract (or even vanilla bean seeds) for deeper, richer flavor in the whipped cream or even try swapping out half the heavy cream for Greek yogurt (whip the cream first!) for some tang. You can also top the fool with toasted nuts or coconut instead of shortbread for a nice textural element. Adapted from Mark Bittman’s strawberry fool recipe for the New York Times Cooking."
