This is a sort of sunshiny, spring time pudding from Nigellissima that I’m hoping acts as some sort of reverse rain dance. And if it doesn’t tempt the sun out, never mind. It’s got cream in it so there’s always that.
Ingredients:
- Two egg whites
- 300ml double cream
- One vanilla pod
- 100g caster sugar
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Chopped pistachio nuts
Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks and shove to one side. In another big bowl whisk up the cream, the sugar, and the seeds from the vanilla pod.
You get these out by slicing the pod lengthways and then scraping them out with a knife. They’re sticky and it’s a pain in the bum, but the smell and taste is wonderful and you’ll get lots of satisfying little black spots of expensiveness in your mousse and you can tell people they’re spiders’ eggs.
You want the cream nice and thick but not rock solid. Very gently fold in the egg whites – you want to keep as much air in the mix as possible.
Chop up your berries and squidge them into the bottom of a glass or whatever your serving them in, dollop your mousse on top and stick in the fridge for half an hour.
Sprinkle over the chopped pistachios (I blitzed mine in a funny little food processor attachment thing I have) and serve.

Don’t you just loathe gray weather! I need sun.
I’m going slowly mad. I think if I don’t book a holiday away I might just drown myself in a puddle.
Lol.
When are you inviting us over for some of this? Or bringing it to ours?
As soon as we have a place it’s DONE. But also um, whenever if your amazing ribs are on offer. xx
