milk (remove and set aside 400 g of fromage blanc)
1 egg white, juice of 1 lemon, raspberry coulis, raspberries,
1 sheet of gelatine, 3 tbsp caster sugar, 1 pinch salt, white chocolate
chips
Prepare your faisselles 48 hours in advance following the instructions
(including approx. 1 day or overnight for drainage). Whip the
fromage blanc using a hand blender.
Soak the gelatine in cold water according to the package directions
and, while waiting, combine the fromage blanc and sugar in
a mixing bowl.
Heat the lemon juice.
Drain the gelatine and melt it in the hot lemon juice. Leave to cool.
Add the pinch of salt to the egg white and beat until it forms stiff
peaks.
Blend the lemon juice and gelatine into the fromage blanc mixture
and then incorporate the beaten egg white taking care not to
deflate it.
In a clear mixing bowl place a few whole strawberries, then a layer
of mousse and then place in the refrigerator to set. Add a tablespoon
