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.
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.

Thanks for stopping by at my blog! Definitively it’s a must to try this mousse with a marshmallow twist, really a great and sweet idea! The problem with this type of desserts, is that I tend to eat the entire batch
All the best,
Gera

I love it! Brilliant idea to use marshmallow cream! And with the berries, it definitely makes me think of spring (hopefully coming soon!) Thank you so much for sending it for the event!
You have definitely met the challenge. Who would think of marshmallow mousse? I love the ease in which you have remade an old classic with a twist. Bravo!
