Recipe
If you want to taste the tenderness, make a mousse pie. This dessert is world famous due to its airy texture. Due to its tenderness the treat has even become a symbol of comedy!
Prepare this pie with yogurt and raspberries, and serve it with exceptional nut crust (chopped almonds work great). Please note that this dessert doesn’t have neither many layers nor a large amount of cream, so the de-facto it is a quiche with cream, but you can still call it a cake.

ToppingMix raspberry juice with starch and vanilla, bring to a boil and let cool. Before serving, pour raspberry topping on the mousse cake. |
You can add anything to it, but berries, lime, lemon, coconut, chocolate and peanut butter are especially good. Due to the mousse, this dessert comes out more tender than any cheesecake, so it will be a great treat at a small child’s birthday.
The only tricky part for an unexperienced cook is the gelation of the cream. Just be careful with the amount of gelatin and fatness of the cream, and the result will exceed all your expectations!
