You might be a food blogger if you buy 4 pounds of cherries and suddenly, your brain goes into overdrive thinking of possible cherry desserts to bake. I almost got through the whole bag before I could decide. Plus, Naomi already made this beautiful cherry concoction, so I really had to think hard.
I decided to make y'all a fool because it's simple and delicious. A fool is cooked fruit stirred into freshly whipped cream. Easy, right? You can do this.
I should warn you that my desserts might keep having an English flair. Before I left California, I sneaked over to Napa one Sunday afternoon to enjoy a delicious brunch with the very sweet and charming and beautiful Emilia of Wine & Butter. I had such a wonderful afternoon with her and her husband Louis, that I'm thinking of doing a British stint in my kitchen for a bit. Emilia gave me her Godmother's cookbook and I've been devouring it nightly. I read it with a British accent in my head because it makes me feel like I'm as fabulous as Emilia.
You also might be a food blogger if you feel an instant connection with someone through their site and agree to drive and meet said person for brunch. But, don't concern yourself too much with the habits of food bloggers. We're a weird bunch. Just let us feed you, ok?
I'm thinking of doing another round of no-bake desserts for summertime. Any requests?
These cherry desserts are always a hit!
*This is especially delicious if allowed to chill in the freezer one hour before serving.

I had no idea what a fool was but it looks amazing. I'm am so guilty of buying huge amounts of cherries and my hubby doesn't even like them. Thank goodness the boys do.

I bought EIGHT pounds of cherries last week, to make pies. And then got too lazy to pit them. SO they're just sitting there... I did pit about 1/4 pound this am. I really need to get my butt into gear. And then make this fool!
