  • Prep Time 20 minutes
  • Total Time 1 hour, 20 minutes
  • Yield Serves 12

Ingredients

    • 12 ounces strawberries, halved
    • 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
    • 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped, pod reserved for another use
    • 1 1/4 cups cold heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup creme fraiche
    • 12 edible rose petals
    • 2 large egg whites or pasteurized egg whites, lightly beaten (or powdered egg whites)
    • 1/2 cup superfine sugar

Directions

  1. Puree strawberries, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, the rose water, and vanilla seeds until mixture is slightly chunky.
  2. Whisk heavy cream, creme fraiche, and remaining 3/4 cup sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Fold in strawberry mixture until just swirled through. Divide among 12 glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, make the sugared rose petals: Pick up each rose petal with tweezers. Lightly brush with egg whites and sprinkle with superfine sugar to coat. Let dry on a wire rack.
  4. Garnish each fool with a rose petal just before serving.
