Raspberry Fool Dessert

Submitted by HeatherFeather

"This is a pretty pink fruity dessert. Not overly sweet and perfect for a hot night. Pepperidge Farm makes lovely elegant loooking cookies if you can't find any ladyfingers. If you prefer, I think you could sub Cool Whip for the whipped cream and although slightly different, it would still taste good. Or, if you prefer, you can top with more whipped cream as a garnish."

I was looking thru my recipes for ZWT 2010 and found this one from Food Network, Ellie Kriger. It is light and refreshing. I think many berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, etc...are good as well. I didn't use the ladyfingers. Thanks for posting, Heather.
