Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the raspberries and granulated sugar. Gently mash the raspberries with a fork until they are slightly broken down and the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream and mascarpone cheese together using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, then continue to whip until well combined and fluffy.
  3. Gently fold the macerated raspberries into the whipped mascarpone mixture, being careful not to overmix. You want to maintain some of the raspberry swirls for a beautiful presentation.
  4. Spoon the raspberry fool into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and set.
  5. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
