KIDS: Strawberry Mousse Part I
I'm in experiment mode...getting ready for a gorgeous little girl's 3rd birthday party in a couple of weeks.
The experiment is to find a strawberry mousse that's light and fluffy, easy to whip up in advance, but contains no raw egg white.
Mousse Part I = is super simple to prepare and contains only 4 ingredients. It turns out a very light and fluffy mousse (which ticks my box), however it does contain a bit of a "cheat" ingredient which I'm personally not 100% keen on (only because I don't eat them in normal circumstances).
But for a 3 year old birthday party...well, I'm guessing they'll be very happy....
