Strawberry Fool in 30 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Toss the sliced strawberries with half of the granulated sugar and the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes until a glossy syrup forms.
2. Blend approximately one-third of the macerated strawberries into a smooth puree using a food processor or by mashing them thoroughly with a fork; set aside.
3. Pour the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a cold bowl and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula, using a light hand to create a marbled swirl.
5. Fold in the remaining whole macerated strawberries to maintain their texture.
