Written by Pavlova is a wonderful summer dessert and this recipe by Delia Smith makes use of some Fromage Fraiche, Mascarpone and Strawberries.
Fromage Frais is a fresh low fat curd cheese made from pasteurised cows milk. Similar to cottage cheese but isn’t, it is is processed until it is free of lumps.
Common in Europe but not so much here, If you can’t find any you can make your own by mixing together cottage cheese & plain yoghurt in equal parts. Blend them together until smooth.
Or you can substitute with some double thick cream!
