This fluffy, strawberry concoction is the perfect recipe to make with little sous-chefs. It may look fancy, but it's wonderfully simple.
Ingredients
-
2
300-g pkgs frozen
strawberries
, thawed and drained
-
3
egg whites
-
1 cup
granulated sugar
-
1 cup
35% cream
, whipped, or 2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberries with egg whites and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed for 5 to 8 min, until thick and fluffy. It should mound easily when dropped from a spoon. Gently fold in cream, until well combined. (Don’t over-mix; it should stay fluffy.)
- Line a mixing bowl with plastic wrap and spoon the mousse mixture into it. Cover the top of the bowl with plastic, and place in freezer for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- When your bombe is frozen, unwrap the bowl, and turn it out on to a serving platter. Peel off the plastic wrap, and garnish the mould with fresh strawberries, chocolate hearts or chocolate-dipped fruit. Slice to serve.
Tip:
If you prefer, you can freeze this mousse in individual serving dishes.
