Recipe: Strawberry Mallow Mousse

I do love Strawberry desserts- it surpasses any other flavour. When I was younger it was strawberry Angel Delight, as an adult it’s always strawberry ice cream and milkshakes. It’s a flavour that’s sweet without being sickly and actually kind of refreshing. Nothing is better than fresh strawberries either and we can’t wait to try this week’s scrummy sounding recipe.

Serves 6
Prepare 20 mins + setting time
Cook 10 mins

Ingredients:

400g pack essential Waitrose British Strawberries

Grated zest and juice 1 orange

40g caster sugar

250g mini white marshmallows

2 x 200g tubs Waitrose Fromage Frais

2 tbsp roughly chopped pistachios

Method:

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.
Mash with a fork and stir in the marshmallows until melted. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
Fold the fromage frais into the strawberry mixture and spoon into 6 serving glasses. Chill for at least 6 hours, until set.
Hull and slice the reserved strawberries and arrange on top of the mousses. Scatter over the pistachios to serve
