Chocolate Mousse filled Strawberries
Yield: 24 Strawberries
24 very large Strawberries
1-2 cups Chocolate Mousse
1 cup Whipped Cream
1/2 cup tempered White Chocolate
1/2 cup tempered Chocolate
48 small Mint Leaves
Cut the stem off of the strawberries and then slice
a small amount off of the tip of the strawberries. With any luck you
will be able to stand the strawberry up for presentation. Using a small
Parisian scoop, scoop out most of the meat from the strawberry. Make
sure not to scoop out too much and make a hole in the side or bottom.
Using a pastry bag with a tip, pipe the chocolate mousse into each
strawberry until they are just full. Lay the strawberries on a sheet
pan. Using a fork lightly drizzle each chocolate over the strawberries.
Refrigerate for 5 minutes. Turn the straw berries over and repeat. When
ready to serve: use a pair of kitchen tongs to hold each strawberry and
top with whipped cream. Stand 2-4 strawberries on each plate. Garnish
each strawberry with two mint leaves. Drizzle the plate with a sauce if
desired.
Tempering Chocolate
Melt chocolate in a double boiler to
115°-120°. Cool to 85°. Reheat to 90° for dark
chocolate and 87° for milk or white chocolate. Hold at the reheated
temperature until ready to use. If it becomes to warm or to cold
restart the tempering process. |
