I've made this several times now, it's a great 'company' dessert, which means, for me, at least, it cam be made in the morning and forgotten about until serving time. I've used lemon juice and also lime juice for a whole new dimension...delicious. It's a quite light mousse, especially nice after a rich, heavy main course.

I have a passion for healthy and simple dishes with lots of vegetables, although I love a treat every now and again also, especially ice cream!
