Strawberry Mouse - A taste of Summer!

This super easy, delicious and fruity mouse was such a hit in our after-school cooking classes last week that they didnt survive the journey home. Many were eaten before parents were shown or a taste could be given!

The smell of the strawberries as you mash them in this recipe is divine - the little cooks loved smelling such a sweet, inviting smell.

You can use defrosted frozen strawberries or fresh ones!

A touch of sugar brings out the flavour of the strawberries as the sugar draws out the fruits liquid and sweet juice.
