This recipe is absolutley delicious. It was a little more work than I first anticipated, but very worth the effort.<div><br /><div>The mousse recipe makes far more than 6 servings. I was serving 8 so made 1 1/2 recipes. This wasn't necessary but my husband isn't complaining about having to finish the leftovers.</div><div><br /></div><div>Note: It took a good 20 minutes over the double boiler whisking to get the custard portion to achieve the right consistency. Added bonus, a great shoulder workout.</div><div><br /></div><div>The fruit is straightforward and absolutely delicious with just a hint of bitter. It pairs so well with the cold, creamy, sweet, tangy yogurt mousse. </div><div>I set and served this in individual, shallow 8 oz Mason jars. </div><div><br /></div><div>I will definitely make this again. It's a true show stopper.</div></div>
