1. Place the pineapple in a sieve or colander set over a bowl and let it drain for at least 10 minutes.
|
2. In a large chilled bowl, whip the cream with a whisk or a rotary or electric beater until it is stiff enough to hold its shape softly.
|
3. Taste the pineapple and, depending on its sweetness and your own taste, sprinkle the cream with 1 to 4 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar.
|
4. Add the vanilla and continue beating until the cream is stiff enough to form firm, unwavering peaks on the beater when it is lifted from the bowl.
|
5. Chill the whipped cream and the pineapple separately until you are ready to serve them. (Tightly covered with plastic wrap, whipped cream can be kept for an hour or so.)
|
6. At the last possible minute, fold the pineapple into the cream with a rubber spatula, blending them together gently but thoroughly. Spoon the fool into chilled individual dessert bowls or parfait glass and serve immediately.
|
NOTE: Mango may be substituted for the pineapple.
