Ingredients

  • 250 ml boiling water
  • 1 strawberry jelly, 1-pint size
  • 350 g ripe strawberries
  • 300 ml double cream
  • 400 g can condensed milk

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Boil the kettle
  • Tear or snip the jelly into cubes

For the mousse:

  • Put the jelly cubes in the processor. Add 250ml boiling water and let it stand for 2 minutes to start dissolving. Add the strawberries and blitz until smooth - about 2 minutes
    CAUTION: pulse first to avoid the liquid going everywhere!
  • Put the mixture in the fridge (in the processor if it fits). Chill until just beginning to thicken - 1-1½ hours
    The strawberries may separate from the jelly at this point.
  • Remove the mixture from the fridge and put back in the processor (if it isn't already). Add the cream and condensed milk. Blitz until smooth - about 30 sec
  • Pour the mousse into a serving bowl. Chill until set
  • Decorate with strawberry slices before serving.

Notes

Everyday Cooks tip:

  • To speed up the chilling time, add less boiling water to the jelly initially and top up with cold water once the jelly has melted. Try 200ml boiling water and 50ml cold water.
