This creamy raspberry fool is made with just three simple ingredients. It’s quick to prepare, beautifully vibrant and perfect for serving on a sunny afternoon.
There’s nothing better than a light summer pudding to enjoy outdoors, and this speedy raspberry fool fits the bill. It’s elegant yet unfussy, ideal for family meals or entertaining.
I often make these when friends or family visit. They look lovely in small cups — I like to use espresso cups on little saucers — and the portions are just right after a main course. Using small vessels also makes them easy to chill in the fridge.
Raspberry Fool — 3 Ingredients
This was one of the first desserts I learned to make as a child — I loved squashing the raspberries to release their juice. With only three ingredients it’s a great recipe to get children involved: it’s simple, satisfying and a little bit messy in the nicest way. You can prepare it earlier in the day since it needs a few hours to chill and set, making it convenient for both casual family dinners and dinner parties.
For texture, I like to serve the fool with a tuile biscuit or a crisp biscuit curl. The crunch pairs beautifully with the soft, silky dessert.
If possible, reserve a few whole raspberries to decorate each portion. They add a pretty finish and a fresh burst of flavour — and they’re fun to fish out as you start eating.

Ingredients
- 300g raspberries save a few for decoration
- 50g caster sugar
- 200ml crème fraîche

Instructions
-
Mix the raspberries with half the sugar so the fruit is evenly coated.
-
Press the raspberries through a sieve into a bowl to collect the juice, discarding the seeds left in the sieve.

Taste the purée and add a little more sugar if the raspberries are too tart.
-
Lightly stir the crème fraîche in a separate bowl, then fold in the sieved raspberries and juice. Spoon the mixture into espresso cups or ramekins.

Chill in the fridge for about 3 hours to allow the fools to firm slightly.

Top each portion with the reserved raspberries before serving.
-
Serve with a tuile or crisp biscuit for a complementary crunch.
