Blackberry Fool
Whip the cream until it forms firm peaks, or it will lose its volume when you fold in the whole berries and puree. To test if the peaks are firm enough, lift the beater; the peaks should be firm, with just minimal droop at the tips. Be careful not to overwhip, however, or you will end up with butter.
