Default Easter Dessert

Easter dinner was a success all around, but dessert just about got a
standing ovation. I've made this just once before and I'd forgotten
what an incredible dessert it is. It's also relatively
light...although the calories are probably astronomical. I easily
quadrupled the recipe with no harm to it - and I used parfait glasses
instead of wine glasses:

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Lime Fool With Stawberries And Kiwi

desserts

1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon lime peel; grated
6 ounces white chocolate; such as Lindt
3/4 cup whipping cream; chilled
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups strawberries; sliced and hulled
2 kiwi fruit; peeled, thinly slice
4 whole strawberries
4 lime slices

Bring first 3 ingredients to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Reduce
heat to low. Add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Pour into
medium bowl. Refrigerate until cool but not set, stirring
occasionally, about 25 mins.

Beat 3/4 cup chilled cream in another medium bowl to soft peaks. Add
sugar and beat until stiff. Fold cream into white chocolate mixture.

Place scant 1/4 cup sliced berries in each of 4 8 - 10 oz.
wineglasses. Press 3 kiwi slices against sides of each glass. Spoon
1/3 cup cream mixture into each glass. Spoon scant 1/4 cup sliced
berries in center of each, pressing into center so berries do not show
at sides of glasses. Spoon remaining cream over; smooth tops. Cover
and chill at least 2 and up to 6 hours.

To serve, using small knife, make lengthwise cuts in whole
strawberries without cutting through stem ends. Fan 1 strawberry atop
each dessert. Attach lime slice to rim of glass.

old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the
waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner."
