STRAWBERRY FOOL (LIGHT)

Steps:

• Combine strawberries and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Cover and chill 2 hours.
• Combine brown sugar, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract and yogurt and sour cream in a blender. Blend for a minute or two so that the sugars are blended in and you have incorporated a bit of air in the dairy mix. (i've also done this with an immersion blender.) Turn out into a covered bowl and chill for 2 hours.
• Just before serving, gently fold the strawberry mixture into the yogurt mixture until swirled.

STRAWBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• Cut the jelly into squares and place in a saucepan with 150ml water. Gently heat until the jelly cubes have dissolved then remove from the heat to cool.
• Remove the strawberry stems and hull (the green leafy bit and the part where it's attached to the berry). Roughly chop the strawberries and put in the bowl with half the sugar.
• Mash the mixture with a potato masher. Stir the jelly into the mashed strawberry mixture and put in the fridge. Leave until it's cold and just starting to set, about 2-3 hours.
• Stir the strawberry mixture well, then fold in the fromage frais and remaining sugar.
• Transfer the mixture to a clean serving dish and leave to set for about 2 hours.
