Strawberry Mousse

Strawberry Mousse Did I mention about “a layer of white wine jelly over strawberry mousse” in my previous post? OK. Here it is. I gave it a try this afternoon. Yep. I’m the stupid one who forgot about the fact that strawberry mousse does not turn out really red. With a layer of white wine jelly, the dessert would have turned out pretty colorless. So I had to change my mind about the top layer. How about a little Japanese touch... So, to make the top layer, I added some strawberry puree to the white-wine & gelatin mixture to give it a reddish color. It was definitely a better idea than a plain white-wine jelly layer, I think. BTW, I’m a little sick of this same old “strawberry slices and mint leaves” combination. Maybe you are, too? Unfortunately the chervil in my balcony garden is just sprouting now and not ready to be on this lovely dessert today. I could have done something with whipped cream, but I was a little too tired to be creative after getting a haircut this afternoon... I still have a lot left in my fridge. Wanna come over and try some? ;) Categories: Sweets
