Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 whole fresh strawberries
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 pieces butter cookies or graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the strawberries. Set aside for garnishing or layering in the dessert.
Crush the butter cookies or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir it into the cookie crumbs until evenly combined. Divide the mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses, pressing gently to form a base layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until fully combined to create the chocolate mousse.
Layer the mousse over the cookie base in the serving glasses. Add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the mousse.
If desired, pipe or spoon additional whipped cream on top of the strawberries for garnish.
Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or sprinkles for a decorative finish.
Refrigerate the assembled desserts for at least 1 hour to set before serving. Enjoy your Chocolate Strawberry Delight!
