Peach Fool with Bourbon

By 54 Comments

Happy April Fools’ Day! Is that a real greeting for the day? I’m not sure, but I know you’ll be happy if you make this simple, simple dessert to celebrate: Peach Fool with Bourbon is bright and cheerful, and of course, flavorful!

Peach Fool with Bourbon is a delicious (simple-to-make) treat!

When talk moves to fools, it doesn’t often include dessert, but I’m steering this conversation! A fool as a dessert is quite a treat. It’s basically macerated fruit with a bit of sugar and some flavoring (I used bourbon for today’s treat, but you could use vanilla or lemon juice or another type of liqueur) that gets folded into whipped cream.

Peach Fool with Bourbon is a simple treat with big flavor!

How simple could it be, right? So simple that I think you should take the 10 minutes it takes to make Peach Fool with Bourbon! It’s very elegant without being fussy. There is no baking involved, or really even wait time – my kind of dessert!

You'll want to dig right in to Peach Fool with Bourbon as a fun dessert!

I’ve been using frozen peaches lately in smoothies, so I decided to add them to this dessert. I used both frozen and some canned peaches, and since I’ve recently become a bourbon fan (which pairs so well with peaches), I thought it would be a nice addition for this fool (the dessert, not me).

Serve a fool -- dessert, that is! Peach Fool with Bourbon makes a wonderful dessert!

Whether you pull elaborate pranks on April Fools’ Day, or you just kick back and try not to fall for someone else’s, dessert is always welcome. Peach Fool with Bourbon makes a great last-minute treat worth celebrating with.

  • 4 ounces canned peaches, blended smooth

  4. Spoon the mixture into serving glasses or dessert bowls. Dollop 1-2 teaspoons of the canned peaches into the mixture in each glass or bowl. Swirl a little with a spoon.

    I can't believe how easy this is to make! I just heard of fools last year and definitely need to try one - this version looks like a perfect flavor combo to start with.

    Gorgeous photos! Oh yum this sounds like my kind of fool, especially the fact that it's the no-wait kind. I'm a fool for not rushing to the kitchen to make one right now. :P Thanks for sharing!
