STRAWBERRY MOUSSE

This is one of the Mother's Day HiTea Menu. I purposely choose strawberry mousse because the taste and the color of the dessert enhanced your food presentation. 

For yesterday  recipe, due to time factors I made a simple version using the pudding mix. It's easy to prepare by just mixing everything in and chill. 

The original plan was to make the Martha Stewart version by using white chocolate with strawberry top, again as I said due to time factor I opted for the easiest. 

Anyway it's yummy and soothing. For the best interest of all I do copied the Martha Stewart version by SimplyRecipe for all. JUST GIVE A TRY!!!!!

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups quartered fresh strawberries or frozen unsweetened strawberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 package (1 ounce) sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed

PREPARATIONS

  • In a food processor, combine strawberries and sugar; cover and process until smooth. Strain and discard seeds. Return strawberry mixture to the food processor. Add pudding mix; cover and process until smooth.
  • Transfer to a large bowl; fold in whipped topping. Spoon into dessert dishes. Refrigerate until serving.

Strawberry White Chocolate Mousse Recipe - simplyrecipe.com

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ pounds of strawberries
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon unflavored gelatin (about half a small envelope)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp powdered (confectioner's) sugar

PREPARATIONS



For Topping

  1. Using an electric mixer, whip the remaining 1 3/4 cup of cream. (Note I usually use a blender to whip cream, but in this case an electric mixer or hand beater is preferred, you have better control over the amount of whipping.) Beat on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Whisk one third of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Stir the remaining 1 Tbsp of lemon juice into the reserved sliced berries. Fold the sliced berries into the mousse. Spoon mousse into serving cups and refrigerate for at least another hour, preferably several hours, or even over night (cover with plastic wrap). 
  3. When you are read to serve the mousse, pour a dollop of the reserved strawberry purée onto each serving. Add a few slices of strawberries as garnish.

Salam semua !!!! Macam mana HARI IBU anda???. Kepada yang masih mempunyai ibu seronoklah ya!!!!Bagi yang tidak mempunyai ibu, anak-anak dan teman-temanlah yang memeriahkan suasana. Alhamdulilah hajat untuk berkumpul dengan kekawan akhirnya terlaksana, walau pun simple tapi saya rasa ini merupakan permulaan yang baik bagi mengeratkan sillatulrahim.

Strawberry Mousse ini adalah menu function semalam. Sengaja saya pilih strawberry kerana rasa dan warnanya menaikkan hidangan. Oleh kerana rancangan mengadakan HITEA ini dibuat last minutes, saya tidak mempunyai banyak masa untuk menyediakan juadah, jadi saya ambil yang simple aje. Saya gunakan ready made pudding mix dan campurkan dengan puree strawberry. Untuk topping pula saya gunakan whipped cream aje. Sebenarnya saya nak masukkan juga puree ke atas pudding tetapi dek kerana terlalu kalut saya terlupa. jadi kalau hendak lebih mantap, reserve kan puree dan campurkan dengan hirisan strawberry tabur di atas wow.... lagi menarik jadinya.

Tetapi bagi yang inginkan yang lebih canggih, saya sertakan juga resipi dari MARTHA STEWART, resipi ini lebih mantap, menggunakan white chocolate, saya udah test dan buat tetapi masa tu tak pandai blogging dan photo shoot jadi tak adalah gambarnya. Apa pun kalau yang ingin mencuba resipinya disertakan sekali.
