Strawberry Mousse Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Strawberry mousse (Mousse aux Fraises) is the essence of summer. The technique involves lightening fruit purée with whipped cream, with support provided by gelatine. This isn't a heavy buttercream, but an air-filled, 'cloud-like' dessert. It was the star of elegant garden parties in the 1950s and remains unbeatable today for its freshness.

Instructions

1 ✓

Clean the strawberries. Set aside the nicest ones for decoration. Blend the rest with the icing sugar and lemon juice.

Tip: Lemon juice brightens the strawberry colour and taste.
2 ✓

Bloom the gelatine in the water, then heat until liquid. Mix in 2 tablespoons of strawberry purée (tempering), then pour the whole thing back into the purée.

Tip: This avoids thermal shock and lumps.
3 ✓

Whip the cream. Gently fold into the strawberry base.

Tip: Air bubbles give the mousse its texture. Don't crush them!
4 ✓

Place the sponge in the tin. Pour over the mousse. Smooth it out.

Tip: Tap the tin to remove air bubbles.
5 ✓

Chill for 4 hours (or overnight).

Tip: Gelatine setting time.
6 ✓

Remove from tin (you can help the sides with a hot wet cloth). Decorate with strawberries.

Tip: Fresh fruit is the most beautiful garnish.
