Women & Desserts

It’s always been assumed that women just have a thing for the sweetest of desserts and have a hard time refusing themselves from consuming them, especially when depressed. As perpetuated by many a rom-com movies, of course. And actually, there’s even data that proves this; women are 25% more likely to order desserts than men.

Now, where am I going with this? Well, knowing this, wouldn’t it be nice to have some desserts around the next time you and your girl decide to stay in? Or, at the very least, be able to do together for fun and bonding?

Here’s the first few for you to try out (all courtesy to Real Simple and Rachael Ray everyday) and we will be beginning with some berry delicious ones…bad pun? Eh, I tried…

Raspberry Fool

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raspberryjam 1 1/4 cups heavy cream

1 tbsp. granulated sugar

1 cup fresh raspberries 4 cookies

Beat the heavy cream and sugar together in a bowl until stiff peaks form.

In a separate bowl, whisk the jam until it is smooth, then fold that into the whipped cream made in the previous step. Once that’s done, serve it up with them raspberries and cookies as garnish.
