Go all out for your guests with this dessert at the centre of the table. Even though its appearance looks imposing, it’s actually easy to make. Simply roast some strawberries in the oven and collect their cooking juices, which have been transformed into a strawberry syrup. Mix the cooked fruit with whipped cream, and layer with store-bought meringues, pistachios and fresh strawberries. It’s a great way to enjoy the first berries of the season.

Clementine Mousse Sandwich Cookies
As with an ice cream sandwich, this recipe calls for inserting mousse between two cookies, which become tender and moist after refrigeration. To get a firm mousse, make a crème diplomate, which is a mixture of pastry cream, whipped cream and gelatin, replacing the milk with clementine juice. To make things easier, use store-bought ginger cookies. A delightful dessert.

Raspberry Mousse Pie with Pistachio Crust
This pie gets its bright pink colour from raspberry purée mixed with gelatin. Then whipped cream is incorporated into it, creating a dense mousse called bavarois that stays standing even when cut. Spread it in a simple crust of graham cracker crumbs and chopped pistachios. As a garnish, use the jellified fruit purée to create a mirror glaze.
