Low Fat Strawberry Mousse {Egg & Dairy Free}
This is a really easy recipe for low fat strawberry mousse. It's a doddle to make and a mere 129 calories per serving. It's also egg free so suitable for kids and pregnant ladies. You can get the same light and airy texture you get from egg whites by giving it a good blast with an electric hand whisk. Using a mix of yoghurt and milk gives a nice creamy flavour and keeps calories down as well.
To make low fat raspberry mousse, just substitute the strawberries for raspberries. You can also easily make dairy free strawberry mousse by using soya milk and yoghurt. I leave the seeds in the strawberries but if you prefer, sieve your strawberry puree before combining with the other ingredients.
This low fat strawberry mousse can be made a day in advance. To make it look a bit special serve it in individual glasses with diced strawberries in the bottom and on top.
