Strawberry mallow mousse

This sticky-sweet dessert can be made ahead of time, and is light enough to make it great for after BBQs or other summer feasts.

Adapted from the original recipe.

Ingredients for strawberry mallow mousse

Serves 6 – 8

• 400g strawberries
• Zest and juice of 1 orange
• 40g caster sugar
• 250g white mini marshmallows
• 400g Fromage Frais
• 2 tbsp roughly chopped pistachios, or toasted sliced almonds

Directions

1. Reserve 6 small strawberries for decoration. Hull and roughly chop the rest and put them in a saucepan with the orange zest and juice, plus sugar. Stir over a gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved, then simmer for 5–10 minutes until the strawberries are soft and pulpy.
2. Mash the fruit mixture with a fork and stir in the marshmallows until melted. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
3. Fold the fromage frais into the strawberry mixture and spoon into serving glasses. Chill for at least 6 hours, until set.
4. Hull and slice the reserved strawberries and arrange on top of the mousse glasses. Scatter over the pistachios to serve.
