Cinnamon-Plum Fool Recipe

Cinnamon-Plum Fool Recipe

  • 1 3/4 pounds red or black plums (about 6 large), pitted, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, divided
  • 10 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon (scant) ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. Puree 2 1/4 cups plums and 3 tablespoons sugar in processor until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes (bits of plum skin will remain). Strain fruit into medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract puree; discard solids. Combine remaining diced plums, 3/4 cup puree, and cinnamon in large bowl; toss thoroughly to coat. Set aside remaining plum puree.
  2. Beat cream, remaining 7 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into diced plum mixture.
  3. Spoon some plum puree into eight 1-cup goblets. Top each with some plum-cream mixture. Drizzle each lightly with more plum puree; top with remaining plum-cream mixture and any remaining plum puree.
