A “fool” is a super easy dessert of whipped cream mixed with berries or fruit. This low carb strawberry rhubarb fool is so simple and yet so delicious. And a great way to showcase those spring fruits like strawberries and rhubarb. My kids loved this so much, I socked some chopped rhubarb in the freezer for the future!

- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the rhubarb, strawberries and water. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat and cook 5 minutes, until the rhubarb and strawberries are very soft.
