STRAWBERRY MOUSSE:

Ingredients:
4 each        Whole eggs, separated
1 pint         Whole strawberries, washed and cut in half
1 cup          Sugar
2 cups         Fat free cool whip
Pinch          Cream of tartar

Preparation:
Separate eggs and place egg whites in medium sized mixing bowl.  Let egg whites come to room temperature (this helps them whip better).  In egg yolk bowl, whisk eggs until smooth.  In sauce pan mix strawberries and 1/2 cup of the sugar, and cook until strawberries are well cooked and sugar is dissolved.  After strawberries are cooked, puree in a blender until smooth.  Return strawberry puree to sauce pot, heat and quickly whisk in egg yolks until strawberry sauce has thickened.  Let cool.  Once egg whites have come to room temperature, beat eggs with remaining sugar and cream of tartar.  Whip eggs until they come to stiff peaks.  Fold in cooled strawberry mixture, along with the two cups of fat free cool whip.  Fold until there are no white streaks.

Layer 1 ounce of mousse interchangeably between the chocolate and the strawberry in a champagne flute four times.
