Peach And Raspberry Yogurt Fool Recipes

PEACH AND RASPBERRY ALMOND SWIRLS

Steps:

• Line a sieve with cheesecloth or paper towels and suspend it over a bowl. Pour the yogurt into the sieve and allow it to drain, refrigerated, for 3 hours or overnight.
• Place the thickened yogurt into a medium bowl and add the almonds (reserving 1 tablespoon for the garnish), honey, vanilla, and orange zest. Thin with peach nectar until it is a desirable consistency.
• Add the raisins, peach (reserving 1 tablespoon for garnish) and raspberries (reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish). Spoon into individual bowl or glasses and garnish with the reserved almonds, peach and raspberries.

PEACH AND RASPBERRY YOGURT FOOL

• Spread out the rolled oats and almonds in a broiler pan.
• Broil them until lightly toasted, shaking the pan frequently.

RASPBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• Wash the berries and use a fork to mash them up.
• You could also do this in a food processor to get an absolutely smooth purée but I prefer a bit of texture.
• Pour the cream into a chilled bowl and whip until you have soft peaks.
• You don't want it to be stiff.
• Gently fold in the yogurt and about two-thirds of the crushed berries.
• Taste for sweetness and add the icing sugar if you want.
• Slowly stir in the reserved berries, leaving a swirl of red through the fool.
• Roughly chop the pistachios and scatter them over top.

RASPBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• In a fine sieve set over a bowl drain yogurt, chilled, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Discard liquid and transfer yogurt to bowl.
• In a small saucepan toss together raspberries and sugar and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until juicy, 2 to 3 minutes. Force mixture through cleaned fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids. Chill raspberry pur e until cold, at least 1 hour, and up to 1 day.
• In a chilled small bowl beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks and gently fold in yogurt. Fold in raspberry purée to create a marbled effect.
• Spoon fool into 4 stemmed glasses. Chill desserts, covered, 1 hour.
