What We Made for Dessert :: Blackberry Fool

Maya and I made Blackberry Fool, following the recipe in the picture book A Fine Dessert: Four Centuries, Four Families, One Delicious Treat (written by Emily Jenkins and illustrated by Sophie Blackall).

It's basically whipped cream with fruit purée folded in. It's rich and creamy with a slight tang from the blackberries.
