Trinculo's Cafe has won the



award!


April 13, 2002

April is the month of fools - and who can resist a fool,
especially one as attractive and satisfying as
the one below? 
This charming fool will mix up in minutes and take 
just a short while to chill and be ready to be DEVOURED - 
and it will be - by appreciative friends and family. 
While fresh berries are unquestionably best because they 
have no extra moisture content that so often accompanies 
frozen fruit, you can use either.



Blackberry Fool

2 cups blackberries (or raspberries)
1 cup whipping/heavy cream
2 tsp. confectioner's (powdered) sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. blackberry brandy
   or other fruit liqueur (optional)

Gently smash the berries with a fork until they are
separated into pieces. Reserve all juice.

Whip cream, slowly adding confectioner's sugar,
vanilla, and brandy. When stiff peaks form, slowly
stir in berries until well-incorporated.
Spoon mixture into pretty dessert cups or glasses 
and chill until firm. Present triumphantly to four.
Make sure one of the four is YOU.

That's it - it's that quick. Don't be a fool - make one soon!
