Check the ingredients 225 grams of strawberries I don't have fresh strawberries I have frozen strawberries

bowl and let's see how many strawberries I have The bag is empty Could it be 225 grams I guess
I think so The recipe says half a cup of cream I don't quite understand that
what it says but Andrea la Mexicana went to the supermarket and didn'
found cream They didn't have cream So we'll use yogurt instead I think it's a
Great choice I honestly have no idea what this says here If you guess
or recognize the ingredient please write in the comments because I don'
I have an idea of what it says here—it says half a cup of cream I'm not sure what kind of cream though with a
Spoon we're going to serve the Greek yogurt here Well this looks like half a cup
Excellent Three egg yolks Two egg whites
I need three eggs in total One two three Three eggs This operation is going to be a
A bit more difficult I'll tie up my hair Let's get to it Come on
Place the strawberries on this deep plate We're going to separate the yolks from the whites
I need another plate a small one We'll need three egg yolks The
The yolk is the yellow part and the white is the clear part I
I need three egg yolks—three little yellow bits—and two egg whites Perfect
Here's a yolk This yolk We'll separate it here
That's it Incredible We've got a clear one we've got a yolk Let's go for another clear one No
We were so close The yolk broke It broke but it's still here We did it Here they are
Two yolks and here we have two whites I'm so proud of myself
We have the clear lists and need one more yolk
This is another yolk We place it here with the other yolks and I can discard the shell
Egg Everything turned out perfectly A teaspoon of powdered sugar

Check the steps Wash the strawberries It looks like the strawberries are clean and ready
For eating then ready In a bowl or deep plate place the yolks
Egg Okay I have the yellow yolks here Place the egg yolks in a water bath
and gradually add the sugar before boiling Perfect What a
Easy Let's use our wonderful pressure cooker that's helped us so much with this
series We're going to add water and I'll place the pot here on the stove
gh heat Okay I'm going to place the egg yolks here Three egg yolks I'm going to
Use this wooden spoon to stir the egg yolks here It says I need
place it in a water bath here on the stove with hot water then it will
Start cooking this now Let's wait a bit for it to heat up
Water I need a little sugar little by little Just a little This sounds completely crazy
This mousse looks different I have so much faith The strawberries are blended with a
A little water Should I blend the strawberries That means we need the blender
Tita's recipe says I need to blend these strawberries with a little water
But the recipe doesn't say how much How much I don't know A little water
Is there enough water I don't know We'll find out We'll be right back
It was incredibly fast Right away In a flash The water's already hot The pot has
Water We'll use a large spoon okay And I need one tablespoon of sugar
I'm going to mix it start mixing this here I can't let the mixture
Bring it to a boil That's not allowed here And I'm going to gradually add sugar
We'll keep mixing Ready This is cooking using a water bath The water is already
boiling I'm going to remove this from the water and now comes the hardest part I need the
The egg whites are ready for marzipan When you beat them vigorously their texture changes
I need to keep mixing and mixing this until it reaches a different consistency
They're changing now We have foam I need to confess that this isn't the
More suitable for achieving this consistency but that's the way it goes Little by little
Twenty minutes have passed and the consistency remains unchanged This is the expectation and this is the reality
On the other hand we have the yolks here I need to add the strawberries here So delicious Scrambled eggs w
strawberry I've never seen a recipe like this in my life I think it's the first time I don't know this seems
mango with strawberry but it's actually strawberry with egg It's very strange to me It smells like strawberry
He adds the cream We're going to add the yogurt Now it looks like a healthy dessert I'm really
Happy because I'm about to eat this The mixture smells great I'm really excited to be honest
Now I need to add the egg whites to soft peak It didn’t turn out well at all They’re a bit
liquid rare but it's all I have right now Here are the whites All recipes have their
our own secrets There's a reason and a method behind everything—behind every step every ingredient Let's go to
We need to pour the mixture into champagne flutes We'll use regular glasses—they're the closest thing we have
I have a glass of champagne I think I need about three or four glasses Let's empty it out
The mixture Be very careful Yes be very careful Well now I need two glasses I'm going to
Take this out We need to do it right Exactly two glasses Very well we have two glasses for
It's ready I'll put this in the fridge for a couple of minutes I'll clean the kitchen and then we'll
We see you in two seconds Do you want to die Eat a raw egg Honestly I want to tell you that
I thought it was good safe to eat raw eggs We don't actually cook the eggs at all Just a little bit of
yolks but nothing else The whites remain raw in this recipe Alexa is it safe to eat raw eggs
I'm sorry I don't know that Alexa doesn't know either Let's check it out Let's see if I'm still alive
Here's the recipe The glass is already cold Normally when you hear the word mousse
The texture needs to be the right one—the perfect mousse consistency It doesn't have the texture of a mousse
But let's give it a try Okay Taste It kind of makes me uneasy I'm uncomfortable eating raw egg
Chicos this tastes really good I liked it I really liked it I think my mistake was changing
The ingredients as always No I think my mistake was not having the egg whites at the right consistency for marzipan
but it's good It's good It has that final spoonful tasted like egg but overall they're all
The spoonfuls tasted good I liked them You're going to try making this recipe at
