Here are 35 of the best American desserts to try! From the classic chocolate chip cookie to the more unique sweet potato pie. Try this Blackberry Fool. A dessert made from pureed blackberries, whipped cream, and buttery shortbread cookies.
In a blender or food processor, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice; blend until smooth. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing with a rubber spatula. Discard the seeds.
Combine the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar in a mixing bowl. Use an electric stand or hand mixer to whisk the cream until peaks form.
Add ¾ of the blackberry puree to the whipped cream and fold gently to combine.
Add the shortbread cookies to a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Alternatively, you can add the cookies to a large ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
Divide the blackberry fool between 4 decorative glasses or bowls. Drizzle with remaining berry puree, and top with cookie crumbs and additional blackberries. Enjoy!

Tip: Use a cookie scoop to easily divide the fool between glasses.
