This time is another non-bake dessert, that's very easy to make. Start with my favourite cookie, Oreo. You can use the one with cream or chocolate filling (I use half of chocolate and half of cream). By adding it with the filling, the base will have its own sweet and creaminess. Don't press the base to hard or it will be hard to scoop, just press it lightly to level it. This white chocolate mousse is the easy one, with only cream (I choose this recipe as you don't have to make custard base for the mousse ^^). You can see that we use only small amount of the gelatine for the mousse as the mousse will be set with the chocolate itself. The base for the mousse is quite loose so put it in the piping bag will make your life easier (if you don't have a piping bag, you can use ziplock bag, put the mixture into the bag and cut it open).
I love the tanginess of the mixed berry, that goes well with the sweetness of the strawberry jelly. But you can go on with the one you like, change the kind of berry or even the puree (raspberry puree will give the jelly more tanginess if you like).
As our refrigerator is colder than the commercial cake refrigerator, I suggest remove it from the fridge 10 minutes before serving, the mousse and jelly will return to right texture (that you will love it ^^).

If I use gelatine powder, do I use 2gm & 3 gm too? And how should I bloom it?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can use the powder one.
ReplyDeleteJust bloom it with 1tbsp of water (you need about 1tbsp spoon of water per 1 tsp of the gelatine) ^^.
Heavenly! Perfect texture, sweetness and chocolate flavor. Make sure to make fresh whip cream when serving.
