Blueberry Fool

One can never have enough no-bake dessert recipes to make during these hot summer months. Here is a very simple and YUMMY recipe I found in a magazine called Family Almanac, that was at the doctor's office. Yes, I ripped it out and put it in my purse :-) 

Blueberry Fool
Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

1 pint (2 cups) fresh  blueberries
2 TB water
1/2 cup sugar
1 pint whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Put the blueberries in a saucepan with the water and sugar, and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until berries are soft and have released their juices.  Remove the pan from the stove and cool.

While the blueberries are cooling, beat the whipping cream on highest speed, til soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Mix in the vanilla extract.

When blueberries are cool, fold them gently into the whipped cream until well-combined. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then spoon into serving dishes.

Enjoy!
