- 1/2 cup sugar divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons Chambord (Raspberry liqueur) optional
Instructions

- Whip cream to stiff peaks in a mixer, adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, about half way through.
- For the ombre effect, divide the whipped cream into three small bowls and add the strawberry puree to each bowl, varying the amount for three different shades or layers.
- Add a small amount of the pureed berries to each glass or dish, then add the darkest whipped cream and berry mixture. Carefully add the next two layers with a spoon or spatula.
- Chill fools for one hour for best flavor.
- Garnish with fresh berries
