I'm glad you asked that question because I cut it from the piece, knowing that I can tend to do an info dump. So here's the answer: Two theories about the name: one is that it's from the French <em>fouler</em>, to crush. As in the berries. The other, which I prefer, is tied to its kinship with trifle -- which got its name as a trifling, or foolish, little dessert. Fun stuff, either way. I'm happy you liked it! (Whipped cream with vanilla = yum. Whipped cream with Framboise is fabulous in this!) Hi, Kathy!

This proves desserts really don't have to be complicated. (But I like my whipped cream with vanilla extract!) So why is this called a "fool"? Looks Great!
