Blackberry fool with hazelnut biscuits





Serves 4











Preparation time over 2 hours





Cooking time less than 10 mins





Ingredients


For the fool:


300g/11oz blackberries


75-100g/3-4oz sugar


juice of 1 lemon


120ml/4fl oz double cream


50g/20z mascarpone or extra 50ml/2fl oz double cream


For the hazelnut biscuits:


375g/13oz caster sugar


250g/9oz unsalted butter, softened


2 size 1 eggs


1 tsp vanilla essence


275g/10oz plain flour


1 tsp bicarbonate of soda


1 tsp baking powder


150g/5oz hazelnuts, roasted, peeled and chopped











Method


1. To make the fool, reserve a handful of blackberries for the garnish and pur茅e the remainder with the sugar in a blender then rub through a fine sieve. The resulting pur茅e should be thick. The quantity of sugar relies heavily on the natural sweetness (or lack of it) of the blackberries.


2. Add the lemon juice, then taste and adjust the flavouring.


3. Whisk the double cream to just soft peaks, not any thicker.


4. Soften the mascarpone by beating by hand and then whisk the two gently together. It is important not to overbeat this mixture. It can be taken too far and then the fool will have a grainy texture.


5. Finally, fold this mixture together with two-thirds of the pur茅e. The remaining one third should be kept aside until assembly.


6. In a sundae dish or wine glass, place a few blackberries tossed in a spoonful of the reserved pur茅e. Fill the glass half-way with the creamy mixture. Place a thin layer of the pur茅e on top of this layer before filling the glass with more creamy mixture.


7. Fill the other dishes in the same way.


8. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up the mixture.


9. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.


10. Grease a baking sheet.


11. To make the biscuits, cream the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.


12. Add the eggs and vanilla essence and mix again until it is all incorporated together.


13. Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder.


14. Fold this mixture into the butter/egg mixture.


15. Finally, fold in the hazelnuts.


16. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls on to the baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.


17. Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes until golden brown.


18. Remove from the baking sheet and leave to cool on a wire rack.


19. Serve the mousse with the hazelnut biscuits and garnished with the reserved blackberries.Does anyone have any good recipes using blackberries?

Have you considered homemade blackberry ice cream?





I use store-bought blackberries, and it's great. Your ice cream would not doubt be to die for! I tried ice cream made from wild blueberries and that was *SOOOOO* good!





Ben %26amp; Jerry have an ice cream making book that gives great ratios for your ingredients.





Berries


Lemon Juice


Sugar (a lot!)


Ice Cream base (eggs, sugar, cream)





Hint - if you want to include some of the berry flesh (i.e. the stuff that is left over once the juices have been extracted) to be included in the ice cream (you add that LAST), place the mush in the freezer while the ice cream is congealing, so that it does not melt the ice cream.


Or, better yet, freeze some whole blackberries ahead of time since you have loads of them to included in the ice cream once the congealing process is finished.
You can substitute blackberries For blueberries in muffins, and you can also switch them for strawberries in short cake , quite a pleasant change.And there is nothing to me as good as blackberry jam served on a good hot buttered biscuit.
Not different. But pretty good.


Blueberry pie.


Add a scoop of ice cream on top.


Super good. =]
