Easy Raspberry Fool

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Start by making the raspberry layer. In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the raspberries with sugar.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the raspberries start to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once the mixture is thickened and the raspberries are soft, remove it from heat and let it cool completely.
4. While the raspberry layer cools, prepare the whipped mascarpone. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
5. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, approximately 3-5 minutes.
6. Once the raspberry mixture is cool, gently fold half of it into the whipped mascarpone mixture.
7. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the marbled mascarpone mixture and the remaining raspberry mixture.
8. Chill the assembled Easy Raspberry Fool in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
