Instructions

How to Make Strawberry Mousse:

1) To start, add 2 cups of fresh chopped strawberries to a blender.

2) Add 2 Tbsp of sugar and blend into a smooth puree. Set aside for later.

PRO TIP: Pour the puree to a fine sieve so the puree doesn't have any seeds or lumps!

3) In a small sauce pan, add 1/4 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream and 1 tsp of gelatin powder.

4) Bring this mixture to a simmer - look for small bubbles forming on the  side of the pan.

PRO TIP: Don’t let the cream boil.

5) In a small mixing bowl, add 3/4 cup white chocolate chips.

6) Pour the hot cream / gelatin mixture over the white chocolate chips and mix until well combined and smooth. Set aside for later.

7) In a large mixing bowl, whip 2 cups of Heavy Whipping Cream into soft peaks.

PRO TIP: Make sure the whipping cream, bowl and whisk are cold before starting.

8) Add the strawberry puree and white chocolate mixture into the whipping cream and fold / mix well to incorporate. You can also add food coloring at this point if you want to!

9) Spoon off the mousse to individual cups and keep in a refrigerator to set for at least 5 hours.

How to Make Chocolate Ganache:

10) In a small mixing bowl, add 1 cup of chocolate chips.

11) In a sauce pan over low heat, add 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream and bring it to a light simmer.

PRO TIP: Don’t let the cream boil.

12) Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, cover and let it rest / melt for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and mix until smooth.
