Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mousse
- 200g Dark Chocolate
- 300ml Heavy Cream
- 3 Eggs
- 100g Sugar
Fresh Strawberries
- 500g Fresh Strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Mousse: Begin by melting the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as you want it to remain light and airy.
- Combine Chocolate and Cream: Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream, being careful to maintain the volume of the mixture.
- Add Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Fold this egg mixture into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
- Layer with Strawberries: In a prepared cake pan, layer half of the chocolate mousse, followed by a layer of sliced fresh strawberries. Repeat with the remaining mousse and another layer of strawberries on top.
- Chill and Set: Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight to allow the mousse to set properly.
Notes
- Using high-quality chocolate and fresh strawberries enhances the overall flavor.
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and volume.
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for whipping cream to achieve better results.
- Allow ample time for the mousse to set for the best texture.
- Serve the cake chilled for a refreshing taste experience.
