Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g high-quality white chocolate
  • 250g fresh ripe strawberries
  • 300ml heavy cream (cold)
  • 3 gelatin sheets or 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
  • 40g sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Variations

  • Dairy-Free Version: substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free white chocolate
  • Berry Mix: substitute strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries
  • Chocolate Lover’s Twist: add dark chocolate ganache or drizzle
  • Nutty Addition: add crushed pistachios or toasted almonds topping
  • Alcohol Infusion: add a splash of liqueur like Chambord or Grand Marnier

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then puree them with sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds for a silky texture.
  2. Bloom the Gelatin: Soak gelatin sheets or powder in cold water until soft. Gently warm until fully dissolved, ensuring it can blend smoothly into the mousse.
  3. Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Whip the Cream: Using cold heavy cream, whip until soft peaks form to achieve the mousse’s light and airy texture.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Mix the strawberry puree and dissolved gelatin together. Fold this mixture carefully into the melted white chocolate. Then gently fold in the whipped cream, taking care not to deflate it.
  6. Assemble the Domes: Pour the mousse evenly into silicone dome molds. Tap the molds lightly to remove air bubbles and smooth the surface.
  7. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the domes for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm and holding shape perfectly.
  8. Unmold and Decorate: Carefully remove the mousse domes from the molds. Garnish with fresh strawberries, edible flowers, or drizzles of white chocolate as desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • Whip the cream just right — avoid overwhipping to keep mousse light and soft.
  • Measure gelatin carefully to avoid a rubbery texture.
  • Chill thoroughly for firm domes that maintain their shape elegantly.
  • Silicone molds are recommended for easy unmolding and perfect dome shapes.
