Ingredients

Serves 6

150 g/5 oz soft dark brown sugar

25 g/1 oz butter

4 egg yolks

5 ml/1 tsp vanilla essence

225 ml/8 fl oz thick cream

Fresh Strawberries or other fruits

Preparation method

1. In a thick-based saucepan, heat the sugar and butter over a moderate heat until the sugar has dissolved in the butter. Boil stirring, for 1-2 minutes, then stir in 100 ml/4 fl oz water. Cook without stirring until the mixture is thick and smooth.

2. In a small heat-proof bowl, beat the egg yolk until well blended. Stir in the sugar mixture. Put the bowl over a pan of simmering water and beat vigorously until the mixture is light and fluffy. Cool.

3. Add the vanilla essence to the cream and whip until thick. Fold this into the cooled sugar mixture and pour into a freezer proof mould. Cover, label and freeze.

4. About 30 minutes before it is needed, unmould the mousse on to a plate and decorate with slices of fresh strawberries or canned fruit. Enjoy Iced Fudge Mousse.
