A fresh and flavourful Italian dessert! Learn from our chefs how to make it yourself at MaMa Florence's cooking classes!
For yogurt mousse
• 125 g fresh milk
• 250 g white plain yogurt
• 250 g whipping cream
• 75 g granulated sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 sheets gelatin
For berry sauce
• 150 g fresh berries of choice
• 40 g granulated sugar
• 25 ml water
For the yogurt mousse
• In a small bowl, fill with cold water and add the gelatin sheets. Allow to soak so gelatin softens.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the milk with the granulated sugar.
• When the milk begins to boil, remove from heat, and add the softened gelatin (removed from the
water). Stir the mixture well, and be sure the gelatin dissolves completely.
• Add the yogurt, and allow the mixture to cool completely (put in the refrigerator for at least 30
minutes).
• In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream with a pinch of salt. Beat until the
cream is the right consistency, and holds stiff peaks.
• Remove and with the aid of a spatula, add the whipped cream to the yogurt mixture.
• Spoon the mixture in small dessert bowls.
• Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
For the red berries sauce
• Wash berries and coarsely chop after removing hull.
• In small saucepan place sugar and water over low heat and let it desolve.
• Add the previously washed berries and let cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the stove and blend it.
• Strain the sauce through a strainer to remove any seeds and skins and let it cool.
Finish the dish
• Remove yogurt mousse from refrigerator, top with berries sauce and decorate with a few drops of
Balsamic Vinegar.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature as per your preference.
Tips from the Chef
• As an option to the berries sauce you can put on top of the mousse a strawberry salad. Clean 250g
of strawberries and slice them. Place them in a bowl and add 50g of granulated sugar. Toss well
to blend all the flavours. Remove yogurt mousse from refrigerator, top with strawberries salad
and decorate with a few drops of Balsamic Vinegar.
