3. Prepare 4 dessert glasses. Pour lemon - strawberries in about 1/2 or 1/3 of glasses. Put in a refrigerator for about 10 minutes, to rest. Then pour vanilla - mascarpone mousse on the top. Put again in refrigerator for about 2 hours to set.
4. While waiting, bake crunchy cookies. Melt butter and mix together with sugar powder, egg white and flour. Set in refrigerator for about an hour. Preheat oven 180C (360F) temperature. Line baking tray with some baking paper. With spoon form little cookies (form as you like) and bake in oven for about 6-7 minutes (if cookies are large, you will need to bake for a little bit longer).
