Feels like Springtime Mousse

This month’s 5 Star Makeover Challenge is to create a MOUSSE with a twist.  I think the marshmallow is unusual and it works well with many flavors.  

I don’t use raw eggs which often are found in mousse recipes.  I decided marshmallow would be a good filler and thickener.  This turned out to be creamy and smooth and delicious.    I want to make this again with peaches or apricots.

Feels Like Springtime Mousse

cups of frozen strawberries and blueberries

8 ounces Marshmallow Fluff or Marshmallow Creme

1 cup heavy cream

 

1 teaspoon almond extract

 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

In a food processor, whiz the fruit. You may want to leave chunks or you may want it smooth.

 

In another bowl, beat cream until it form stiff peaks. Add marshmallow to the cream.

 

Add berries, mixed with extracts, to the marshmallow-cream mixture.

Place in serving bowl or serve in individual small bowls.

 

If strawberries are in season, place one on the mousse in the individual bowls.
