Spring Buttermilk Blackberry Pudding Fool

I don't know why

 they call this dessert a Fool

~maybe I should look that up~

I had a bunch of blackberries to use up

and with a little experimenting 

-this recipe was born-

*It's just summery and delicious*

here is my recipe for a nice use of any berry:

1 cup lowfat buttermilk

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons flour

2 egg yolks

pinch of salt

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup berries (blackberries whole)

1 cup berries (reserved for garnish)
1 cup lowfat whipped topping

1.in a bowl

whisk together all dry ingredients 

to remove lumps 

2. in a sauce pan whisk together

buttermilk, egg yolks, and vanilla

over low heat

3. slowly add in dry ingredients

and stir constantly

until the mixture thickens to coat

the back of a wooden spoon

4. add in first cup of berries

I like to mash them up a bit 

to get the juices going

then remove from heat

5. once it's cool

fold in the whipped topping

and top with remaining berries!

~I served mine in fillo cups~

I am quite happy with they way 

this recipe came out

it's perfect for a hot lowcountry evening
