LEMON-RASPBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Cover bottom of an 8x8 casserole dish with vanilla wafers. In a small heat proof bowl, combine jello, boiling water and lemon juice, stir to dissolve. Once dissolved, add ice cubes and mix until ice cubes are dissolved. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and lemon zest. Gradually add jello mixture to cream cheese mixture - whisking as you incorporate. Whisk in 2 cups of cool whip. Pour half of jello cream cheese mixture over the vanilla wafers. Cover with more wafers. Heat 1/3 cup of raspberry preserves in the microwave for 30 seconds. Brush over the tops of the vanilla wafers with a pastry brush or back of a spoon. Pour the remaining jello mixture over the top of preserves. Stand wafers around the edge of the dish. Chill over night. Prior to serving: Top with remaining cool whip and fresh fruit. We prefer Raspberries, Blueberries and Kiwi!

LEMON & RASPBERRY MOUSSE WITH PISTACHIO & GINGER SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. For the shortbread, butter a 20cm shallow cake or tart tin. Whisk the butter and sugar together until pale and well-combined, then fold in both gingers, the pistachios and a pinch of salt. Sift in the flour and knead to a soft dough in the bowl. Tip into the tin and press the mixture into the base in an even layer.
• Bake for 25-30 mins until pale golden and dry-looking. Cut the shortbread into slices or wedges while hot, then leave to cool in the tin - it will firm up as it cools. Sprinkle with the ½ tbsp caster sugar.
• To make the mousse, whip the double cream, lemon zest, lemon curd and yogurt in a bowl with an electric whisk until soft peaks form. Spoon into small serving glasses or ramekins and chill.
• Mash half the raspberries with the icing sugar using a fork, or purée in a small blender along with any defrosting juices to make a coulis. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• To serve, spoon the coulis over the mousses, garnish with the remaining raspberries and serve with the shortbread wedges alongside.
