Strawberry/Kiwi Mousse in the style of Chez Philippe
Serves 2

Peel and roughly chop 3 kiwis
Remove the stems from approx 6-8 largish strawberries, chop in half

Add to a blender with 2 ice cubes and a generous squeeze of agave syrup (apx. a scant tbsp). Blend.

That’s it. The ice is really just to cool everything down and add a bit of liquid, you don’t want to add so much that there’s actually ice in the mousse (you’re not making a margarita). You could drink this, though it’s just a bit thick for that and it’s positively wonderful to eat from little bowls with a little spoon. If you don’t have agave, maple syrup will do, or if it’s the height of summer and your berries are very sweet you can probably do without sweetener at all.
