Aristocrat strawberry Mousse mounted on rum cake - 4/18/09
I recently made the raspberry mousse tartlet and I really enjoyed the mousse and decided to duplicate it for this week. But since I do not want to serve the exact same dessert, I went ahead and use the mousse and paired it with a store bought layer of rum cake so there is no baking. Baking takes a lot of time and this week I just don't have the time... The mouse only takes about 30 minutes to make but it needs to be refrigerated for at least a good 2 hours.
The dessert turned out to be very striking and it is also very good. I am using the sliced of strawberries as a mold to hold the mousse together and it also gives a really appealing touch.

I sprinkled some crushed pistachio for some crunch and also for a nice contrast in color.
Preparation work..
I liked the mousse a lot so I decided to make it again this week but it made sure it has a different look. I used sliced Strawberries to line up the mold and then I used store bought Rum cake. |
Here I am putting the dessert together. First I cut the rum cake into circular shape then lined the strawberries around the mold. |
Next the Mousses is spooned in the center of the mold. |
In the refrigerator they go for at least a good hour.... |
I am removing all the molds. |
Since the mousse is cold enough the shape will hold well. Before serving all I need to do is sprinkle the top with some chopped pistachios. |
