Ingredients

Metric

Imperial

White chocolate mousse

Strawberry coulis

Equipment

  • Food processor or blender
  • Stainless steel rings

Method

1
To start the dish, tightly cover the bottom of the stainless steel rings with cling film. Soften the gelatine in iced water for 5 minutes
  • 2 gelatine leaves
2
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, then squeeze the excess water from the gelatine and add to the melted chocolate. Stir until dissolved
3
In a separate bowl, lightly whip the cream
  • 300ml of double cream
4
Remove the bowl of melted chocolate from the heat. Separate the eggs and add the egg yolks, sugar and salt to the chocolate, working the ingredients in quickly
5
Rapidly whisk in the whipped cream, trying to retain as much air as possible in the mix
6
Whip the egg whites in another bowl until they form stiff peaks, then gradually and evenly fold into the chocolate mix
7
Fill the rings with the mix and transfer to the fridge to set for at least 2 hours
8
Place 200g of the strawberries in a blender with the icing sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice. Blend the fruit to a purée and force through a fine sieve to remove the seeds, then set the coulis aside
9
Cut the remaining strawberries into cubes and add to a bowl with 2 tablespoons of the strawberry coulis. Mix until the strawberries are glazed
10
Remove the mousses from the rings, and place on the serving plates. Spoon a little strawberry coulis around the mousse and place the remaining strawberries on top. Serve immediately
