Nutritional values

This dessert contains currants rich in vitamin C. The  eggs supply the body with high-quality protein and the fat-soluble vitamins A and D. We need vitamin A to be able to see in the dark, and vitamin D supports strong teeth.

If you use grape juice for the mousse, you can prepare the cream with 1.5 oz. less sugar, because the juice is much sweeter than champagne or sparkling wine.
