Method

  • step 1

    Put all but 2 strawberries into a pan along with 100ml water and the sugar. Over a medium heat, cook strawberries until soft enough to mash, about 3 mins. Take off the heat and squash the berries, using a fork, until pulpy. Add the marshmallows, then stir them into the hot strawberries until they dissolve. Leave to cool.

  • step 2

    Whip the cream until it holds its shape. Fold the cream into the cooled strawberry mix, then spoon into one bowl or separate pots and chill for about 2 hrs, or until set. Cut the reserved strawberries in half and use to decorate.

question

Can I make this mousse the day before I need it ?

Found it difficult to melt the marshmallows and left them partially melted but it didn’t affect the end result. Also added some chopped strawberries at the end. Really delicious, great texture and easy to make

question

Do marshmallows have to be used in this recipe?

Frantic Flapjack

Yes - it's the gelatine in the marshmallows which sets the mousse.

I made this for a BBQ, great for a sort of last minute pudding - need about 3.5 hours all in! I used raspberries, sieved them (bit of a faff, so didn't do them all, which was fine). Made double the mix too and made about 14 ramekin portions. Then I made a vegan version.......vegan marshmallows,…

tip

I made this, since I decided to puree it I swapped 25 ml of water for an extra 25g of strawberries which worked fine and added extra strawberry Taste. I also used large marshmallows as that's what I had and because I was blending it they mixed in just fine. My guests loved it.
