“So many ideas, so much I want to do, so little time…
But I love the feeling of being inspired…”

When Foodilicious Cooks announced the *farangi meetha* dessert contest, the first thing came up on my mind was mousse & strawberries. The contest calls for a sweet with milk and 1 fruit. So, I went on making a home-made yogurt and strawberry puree a day before.
This a very refereshing, low-calorie dessert with no preservatives used(other than gelatine;))
First, I made a biscuit base.Pressed it down firmly to make a base. Next step was the dark strawberry layer following the light strawberry layer. Covering it with home-made strawberry puree. I kept the moulds in the refrigerator for 3 hours. 3 hours were too long to spend:P Was fun making it as i was getting very impatient to see the layers:D. and how it would come out.
Perfect for summers - Light and ever-so-satisfying dessert!
Recipe:
Biscuit base Ingredients:
100gms digestive biscuits; ground
4 tbsp melted butter
Method:
Mix the crumbs in with the melted butter to form the crumb mixture for the base.
Strawberry Mousse
Ingredients:
100gms Yogurt
50 gms Cream Cheese
100gms Whipped Cream
1tbsps gelatin
200gms Strawberries; pureed
4-5 tbsps powdered sugar
Method:
Blend the yogurt, strawberries & powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the clear gelatin & whisk. This makes the dark strawberry mousse. Once you use a portion of this in the first mousse layer, add the whipped cream to the rest to make the light strawberry layer. Pour the remaining strawberry puree on the top. And put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
Serve it with strawberries.
