Method

  • step 1

    Put the egg white into a heatproof bowl with the icing sugar. Set the bowl over a large pan of simmering water and, using a hand electric whisk, whisk for 5 mins until the mixture is light, fluffy and holds peaks when the blades are lifted. Remove from heat, whisk in the lemon zest, then whisk for a further 2 mins to cool it down.

  • step 2

    Fold in the fromage frais, then transfer to six glasses or small bowls and chill. Roughly chop half the strawberries and put in the food processor with the 2 tbsp icing sugar and the lemon juice. Whizz to a purée, then press through a sieve to remove the seeds. Chop the remaining strawberries.

  • step 3

    Spoon the chopped strawberries over the mousses, then spoon a little purée over each. Chill until ready to serve.

Me and my partner didn't like it. Very very sharp and lemony. Should be called lemon mousse as that is all I could taste. Not sure where I went wrong! Sauce was lovely though, would definitely make that for low fat ice cream.

Made it yesterday. Used 2 medim egg whites instead of 1 large, and whisked only 2 1/2 minutes in the bain-marie : the meringue was getting dry and sticking to the sides. Used only 1 tbsp icing sugar for the coulis. And lime juice instead of lemon. Absolutely perfect. Easy, quick, low-fat, nice to…
