Fresh Strawberry Mousse
This Fresh Strawberry Mousse is a great make ahead dessert for summer entertaining. I always thought of mousse as one of those restaurant dishes that I would never be able to make at home. That was until I found out about this method and I realise that making strawberry mousse is actually not so complicated! The only special equipment you need is a candy thermometer.
The method is described in more detail below, but all you’ll need to do is puree some strawberries with a little sugar. Prepare some sugar syrup and separately prepare some gelatin.
