Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g White Chocolate
- 150g Fresh Strawberries
- 240ml Heavy Cream
- 50g Sugar
- 2 tsp Gelatin (or agar-agar for vegan option)
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then puree them with lemon juice and sugar until smooth. Strain the puree to remove seeds for a silky texture.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Gently melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning and achieve smoothness.
- Bloom the Gelatin: Soften gelatin in cold water according to package instructions, then dissolve it gently into the warm strawberry puree for even setting.
- Whip the Cream: Beat heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, ensuring the cream is light, fluffy, and holds its shape.
- Combine Components: Fold the strawberry-gelatin mixture into the melted white chocolate carefully, then gradually fold in the whipped cream to keep the mousse airy and light.
- Mold the Domes: Pour the mousse into silicone dome molds, smooth the tops, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.
- Unmold and Garnish: Gently release the mousse domes from the molds, place them on serving plates, and garnish with sliced strawberries, white chocolate shavings, or fresh mint leaves for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is slightly cooled before folding in the whipped cream to avoid curdling.
- Use ripe, in-season strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain airiness and the mousse’s fluffy texture.
- Lightly grease silicone molds for easier unmolding and perfect dome shapes.
- Allow ample chilling time (at least 4 hours) for optimal firmness and presentation.
- For vegan variation, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and gelatin with agar-agar, adjusting quantities as needed.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Remove from fridge 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly; do not reheat.
