Chocolate Mousse Filled Strawberries, freshly hulled strawberries, stuffed with an amazing chocolate mousse. Enjoy as a snack or serve as a healthy dessert!
mint leaves and crushed shortbread cookies, graham crackers, or Oreo cookies for garnish
Instructions
Wash strawberries; pat dry. Cut the very tip off so that the strawberries will stand up. Then, cut the top off each strawberry so that no green is remaining and hollow out the center.
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl; stir and let stand 1 minute to soften. Add boiling water; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. The mixture must be clear.
Stir together sugar and cocoa in a small mixing bowl; add heavy cream and vanilla. Beat at medium speed until stiff peaks form; pour in gelatin mixture and beat until well blended.
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
To fill strawberries, spoon mousse into a piping bag or zip-top bag and snip the corner off. Pipe generously into hollowed out strawberries. Garnish with a sprinkle of cookie crumbs and a mint leaf.
