Should mousse have raw egg whites?
I have chosen to make this mousse egg-free. It is usual for a 'proper' mousse to use whipped raw egg whites to give it lightness, however, I know many people do not like to use raw eggs, so this is my version of an egg-free mousse!
What other fruits can I use to make a mousse?
You can also use other soft berries if you wish. Just stick to the quantities I have listed below and you will be fine.

Prep Time

Cook Time
4 Hours refrigeration
Yield
6 servings
Ingredients
14 fl oz or 390 ml fresh whipping cream
14 oz or 400 g of strawberries fresh or frozen
1 - 2 Tablespoons Icing sugar / powdered sugar to taste
2Teaspoons Gelatin Powder
2Tablespoons water
Hold back a couple of nice shaped strawberries for the garnish if you wish
You can also use frozen fruits, simply allow to defrost on some kitchen paper to remove as much excess moisture, and carry on with the recipe below.
Instructions
1. In a cup, add the gelatin and tablespoon of water and heat in the microwave for 10 - 15 seconds until dissolved. Give it a stir and set aside.
2. Puree the washed strawberries and place in a mixing bowl and add the dissolved gelatin. Give it a good stir. Taste the strawberry mixture and add as much powdered sugar as you wish. I only added 1 ½ tablespoons as my strawberries were already sweet.
3. Whip up the cream until semi stiff. Do not over whip as it will be too stiff.
Then add the cream to the strawberry mix and gently combine so you don't knock out the air.
4. Transfer the mousse in to serving bowls and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 4 hours. Serve as it is orwith some delicious Shortbread Cookies
