Did you know the English serve a dessert made by swirling pureed fruit into whipped cream and calling it a "Fool"? Did you also know that "Fool" comes from the French word fouler, meaning to crush? This recipe for Strawberry Fool will fool your family and friends into believing they are not eating a diabetic dessert!
1 1/2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
8 tbsp Splenda Granular, divided
1/2 tsp almond extract, optional (but it adds great flavor)
12 oz fresh strawberries, washed and stemmed
4 tbsp heaving whipping cream
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, 4 tablespoons of the Splenda, and the almond extract.
In a separate bowl, mash the strawberries with 2 tablespoons of the Splenda.
Chill both mixtures for at least an hour.
Whip the cream with the last 2 tablespoons of the Splenda until moderately stiff. Fold the cream into the chilled yogurt mixture. Swirl the strawberry mixture into the creamy mixture.
