Blueberry Fool

If you’re looking for a cool, refreshing dessert try out this Blueberry Fool.  I often think of this treat with Spring or early Summer.  It is light, creamy, and has a surprise of blueberries with lemon zest.  It is great on a warm summer night or upcoming special occasion!  

I have made it several times for Mother’s Day.  We’ve enjoyed it as a mid-afternoon delight, and if it’s nice enough, we’ve been able to take outside and sit on the patio or deck.  If you’re looking for a sweet, refreshing – yet simple dessert – this is great to enjoy with Mom!
