QUICK CHEAT'S STRAWBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Put the strawberries, lemon juice, sugar and 2 tbsp water in a large pan over a medium heat and cook for 5 mins until the fruit has softened. Scrape into a bowl leave to cool. Tip 300g of the mixture into a blender (reserve the rest for later), blitz until smooth and sieve into a jug.
• Whisk the mascarpone in a large bowl to soften, then add the double cream, vanilla bean paste and lemon zest, and whisk again until just starting to thicken. Fold in the blitzed, sieved strawberry purée to combine - it will thicken a bit more. Alternatively, swirl it through so you have layers of compote going through the mousse.Will keep chilled for up to a day.
• Spoon or pipe the mousse into glass tumblers and top with the reserved strawberry compote, the gingernut crumbs, pistachios and dried strawberries, if you like.

EASY STRAWBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Dissolve jello mix in hot/boiling water. Set aside to cool. Don't let it get chunky though.
• Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar together until medium peaks form.
• Once Jello mixture has cooled but is still runny (not chunky) slowly pour it into the cream mixture with mixer on low speed. (If jello mixture is to warm add 2-4 ice cubes to it to help cool but make sure it doesn't cool too much and become jelly. This will cause your mousse to have clumps in it.) NOTE: If jello mixture is too warm it will deflate the cream and become very runny).
• Finish whipping strawberry mousse mixture until stiff peaks are formed then refrigerate until ready to serve.
