After Christmas I am so ready for something that reminds me of summer and doesn't involve chocolate or cake. This Strawberry mousse seemed to do the trick, it's creamy, light and has the delicious undertone taste of marshmallow, how could it not be tasty!

Strawberry Marshmallow Mousse

Serves 4 To prepare 10 mins | To cook 3 mins + cooling+setting

Ingredients 
  • 250g fresh strawberries, halved if large
  • 25g caster sugar
  • 140g mini marshmallows
  • 200ml double cream
Method
  • 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.
  • 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.
