Nutritional benefits
The fromage blanc mousse replaces the heavy cream of traditional charlottes: you keep the softness for half the fat and more protein. With plenty of fresh strawberries, it is a light dessert rich in vitamins.
Variations and substitutions
- With raspberries or mixed red berries.
- With lemon.
- Quick version in small glasses.
- Gelatine-free (with mascarpone).
Storage and making ahead
Keeps for 2 days in the fridge; make it the day before so that it sets properly.
💡 Good to know
Always make it the day before: the gelatine needs a night to set the mousse firmly and allow a clean turn-out.
