Apple Mousse with Semolina
This light, airy apple mousse is a treat everyone loves. We once had guests over for a holiday dinner, kids included. To add something fun to the kids' table, I decided to make apple mousse — though I had my doubts it would pay off. To my surprise, the apple-and-semolina mousse was a runaway hit. Everyone loved it! Give it a try yourself.
