Low Fat Marshmallow Mousse

Submitted by Sugar Doll

"If you love the flavour of marshmallows like I do, this is fun to make and even more fun to eat! This recipe is very versatile, so feel free to experiment with different flavours. I've tried lots of different variations, but the pineapple juice and vanilla combo is my favourite. You can also decorate this with fruit, sprinkles or whatever! This recipe can be doubled of course for more portions. Cook time is chill time."
