Strawberry cheese mousse
Fresh Icelandic strawberries in fresh Icelandic landscape...
In Iceland, strawberries grow in greenhouses all year round. The greenhouses here are powered by geothermal energy, otherwise there would be no strawberries in Iceland or they would have to be imported at great expense.
Ingredients for 6 servings
Ingredients for the soil
120 g cookies
30 g melted butter
Ingredients for the mousse
200 g strawberries
250 g cream cheese
80 g powdered sugar
200 ml whipping cream
Ingredients for the topping
100 g dark chocolate
50 ml whipping cream
2 Tbsp light syrup
optionally spices (e.g. vanilla, coffee spice, etc.)
Whipped cream and fresh strawberries for decoration
Preparation
For the base, crumble the cookies, e.g. place them in a small plastic bag, breakfast bag or similar and carefully crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix the biscuit crumbs with the melted butter and spread the mixture into the bottom of the dessert glasses.
For the mousse, clean and puree the strawberries.
Beat the whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff.
Mix the strawberry mixture with the cream cheese and the remaining powdered sugar for the mousse.
Then carefully fold in the whipped cream.
Pour the mousse into the glasses and chill in the refrigerator.
Heat the cream for the topping in a small saucepan, break the chocolate into pieces and let it slowly melt in the cream.
Add the syrup and ground vanilla, coffee spice or similar to taste and mix thoroughly until a smooth, somewhat liquid mixture is formed (if necessary, add a little more syrup or cream if the mixture is too thick).
Pour the chocolate cream in the glasses over the strawberry-cheese mousse.
Clean fresh strawberries to taste...
...and decorate the strawberry mousse with whipped cream, fresh strawberries and chocolate shavings to taste.
Serve the dessert well chilled.
Bon appetit!
