Cake - White chocolate mousse with strawberry layer

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Making strawberry jelly. First of all, soak the gelatin. Wash the lemon, grate the zest and cut the lemon slices.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the strawberries, add lemon slices and puree them in a blender.

3. STEP 3

   

   Divide the puree into two parts. Add sugar to one part and put it on the fire, stir over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, add the soaked gelatin along with water. Mix everything thoroughly, remove from heat and add the remaining puree. Mix and pour into the mold. The jelly mold should be 1cm smaller than the cake mold. Place in the refrigerator for the jelly to harden.

4. STEP 4

   

   Preparing the mousse. Break white chocolate into pieces. Soak gelatin in water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix milk with cream, add lemon zest and boil. Strain through a sieve.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grind the yolks with sugar until a fluffy foam forms. Pour hot milk into the yolks in a thin stream, continuing to stir. Place in a water bath and cook until the cream thickens. The thickness is about the same as sour cream. Add gelatin, stir everything thoroughly.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the hot mixture over the white chocolate and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool the mixture to room temperature.

8. STEP 8

   

   Whip the cream to soft peaks and stir in the milk-egg mixture.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the cake in a springform pan (mine is 18 cm in diameter). Place half of the mousse on top. Place in the freezer to allow the mousse to harden slightly.

10. STEP 10

    

    Spread the frozen jelly onto the mousse. I was in a bit of a hurry, my jelly didn’t harden quite well. Place the second part of the mousse on top of the jelly. Level and place in the refrigerator to harden.

11. STEP 11

    

    I decorated the sides of the cake with chocolate with decals. I really wanted to see how my pictures would look on chocolate.

12. STEP 12

    

    Decorate the cake with strawberries, pistachios and caramel threads.

What a beauty! This is the first time I’ve come across something like this!))) I saw your recipe and immediately decided to try to cook it. It did not disappoint me. The pictures with step-by-step preparation were very useful, since I had never made mousse cakes before)) I completely followed your cooking recipe, only instead I decorated the cake not with berries, but with figuratively chopped apples)) It turned out very tasty, it just melts in your mouth !)))

Yes, Shura, it’s true, soufflé with strawberry jelly is the delight of women’s parties. My friend and I sometimes treat ourselves to such delicacies in a cafe. Alice, is 38% cream already thick when it is whipped, in the sense that it becomes fluffy? I've never worked with cream.

Thanks girls. Anait, 38% cream is not yet thick. They pour perfectly. We just have 32% and 38%. The lower the percentage, the more difficult they are to whip. Longer.
