Method of cooking "Strawberry And Baileys Fool"

Undoubtedly, one of the prettiest fruit fools is made with strawberries, and this version adds Baileys Irish Cream for a little zip. The alternating layers of deep colored pureed fruit and the lighter whipped strawberry/cream are a picture-perfect ending to a spring meal. Chill 6 stem glasses while preparing the fruit. In a food processor or blender, puree the strawberries until smooth. In a small bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, whip the cream until stiff. Add half the strawberry puree and the Baileys to the cream and blend until smooth. Remove glasses from refrigerator and divide the strawberry/cream mix into the bottom quarter of each. Spoon over the fruit puree, and continue to alternate layers of cream with fruit. Slice the reserved strawberries over the top of each glass and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.
