Mousse aux Fraises (Strawberry Mousse)

Try this French strawberry recipe; it has a different texture from what Snow White did the other day. It has a much creamy taste, like eating melted ice-cream. This is an easy recipe even Babe who is a cook dummies can do it.

Ingredients:
1 box (250g) strawberry (washed and de-stalked)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 eggs white

Method:
Blend the strawberry (keep 3 strawberries for garnishing) with lemon juice and sugar. Beat the whipping cream till thick and stiff, gently mix the cream into the strawberry puree. Keep the strawberry and cream mixture in the fridge while beating the eggs white with pinch of salt. When the eggs white turn to a stiff foam fold it gently into the strawberry and cream mixture. Spoon the mousse into serving glass/bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Garnished with pieces of fresh strawberry and serve chilled.
