White Chocolate and Strawberry Mousse

Andréa
Sweet and airy mousse served in cups. These glasses with white chocolate and strawberry mousse are a great dessert. First, I filled the glasses half with a fruity strawberry mousse. Then they're topped with creamy, rich white chocolate mousse, and finally, add a strawberry glaze! This is a delicate and elegant dessert and a crowd pleaser!

NOTES

1. Strawberry Sauce: A sweet dessert sauce. Use it for the strawberry mousse and glaze. You can make it yourself. I've got a great recipe for homemade strawberry sauce. When used, make sure to purée the sauce and sieve it, or buy sauce in the supermarket.
2. Gelatin: You can buy it as sheets or as gelatin powder. Start by softening the gelatin in a tablespoon of water when using powder. Or soak sheets in a bowl of water and squeeze before using. After that, you've got to dissolve it in a hot liquid. It doesn't matter for the result which sort of gelatin you use.
3. White chocolate: This is used for the white chocolate mousse. It's sweet and buttery. Use a good quality; hence it contains too much fat.
4. Storage 
  • Refrigerator: Cover with foil and store in the fridge. Eat within two days.
  • Freezer: Yes, you can freeze white chocolate and strawberry mousse. Cover it and put it in a container. Store it for up to one month. And then you have two choices. Eat it while frozen (and you've got strawberry and white chocolate mousse ice cream, which is so delicious). Or let it thaw in the refrigerator. In the last case, the structure of the mousses will be slightly different (it becomes a bit grainy). Don't refreeze it.
5. Portions: These white chocolate and strawberry mousse is served in small amuse glasses. If you want to serve it in a ¾ cup glass (200 ml), you can make 8 servings.
