Ingredients:
Strawberry mousse:
120g ripe strawberries, washed, hulled and halved
120g low-fat yoghurt
100g mascarpone cheese
Pinch vanilla seeds or a ¼ vanilla pod
30ml honey
Basil berry salad:
100g mixed berries
30ml passion fruit pulp
4 basil leaves, torn
Extra basil for serving
Method:
Puree the strawberries in a blender and keep aside. Beat together the yoghurt, mascarpone, vanilla seeds and the honey until it is thick and fluffy. Use an electric beater.
Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to set. Meanwhile, make the basil berry salad by cutting the berries into halves and quarters.
Add the passion fruit pulp and the basil and mix gently. Keep aside.
Spoon the mousse into 2 pretty serving glasses, and layer with some of the strawberry puree.
Gently spoon the basil berry salad on top of the mousse.
Pour the left-over strawberry puree into a small jug and serve on the side.
Garnish with extra basil just before serving.
