This recipe for Mum&#x27;s Two Ingredient Strawberry Mousse is one of my favourite &quot;frugal&quot; retro recipes. Mum used to make this regularly for Sunday Tea, as well as for special occasions, such as Birthdays, Easter, Christmas and just because! Made with just two main ingredients, Evaporated Milk and Jelly, you can add lemon juice if you like a sharper flavour, and mum always added lemon juice to hers. If you don&#x27;t have any fresh lemons, then bottled lemon juice works just fine, and those little lemon shaped bottles of Jif Lemon Juice.
