The best part? These Chocolate Mousse Filled Strawberries are easy to make!!
Tasty Chocolate Mousse Filled Strawberries
- First, prep your strawberries. Wash the strawberries and allow them to dry or pat them dry.
- Slice off the end evenly so that the strawberries will sit flat. Next, slice off the stem and hollow out the center. I try to take out just the white area as to not waste good, juicy strawberry.
- Alternately, the easier option is to simply cut off the stem, slice them in half, and pipe some of the mousse on top. This is a different presentation, but with the same wonderful taste.
- Spoon or pipe the chocolate mixture into the strawberry.
- Finally, decorate if desired. You can decorate with sprinkles, mini-chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or mint leaves.
Can you make chocolate mousse in advance?
Yes, The chocolate mousse needs time to set. Therefore, this is the perfect dessert to make in advance. Simply mix as directed then store the mouse in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The mousse can be chilled from 30 minutes to 3 days.
When you’re ready to serve, simply prepare the strawberries and fill as instructed below.
You can also FREEZE the mousse!
The prepared mousse can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
To use, thaw in the refrigerator then use as directed.
