"This recipe was found years ago at africadotupenndotedu/Cookbook/Dessert. The intro said: "The term FOOL (also Egyptian for lentils) comes from the English & means essentially a fruit puree folded into a soft custard or whipped cream. You may begin w/any good custard recipe, vanilla pudding or whipped cream." Over time the definition has been modified & I modified it even further in response to reviewer comments. There are apparently 3 African FOOLS: Strawberry (Ghana), Peach (Liberia) & Peanut (Nigeria). Enjoy!"
