Strawberry Mousse, The Most Romantic Recipe

Strawberry recipe contest under way! California Strawberry Commission seeks “most romantic” concoction!

 

 

The title caught my eye and I started dreaming of strawberries in all sorts of forms. My interest really peaked when I read that the first place prize would be awarded a $1,000.00 Amazon gift card! Then I started dreaming of all the kitchen toys I could buy!

Well, damn procrastinator that I am, I missed the deadline!

Darn! The new Shun knife, food mill, bagel cutter, potato scrubbing gloves (I would use them if I won them!), and new blender that actually crushes ice would NOT be arriving at my doorstep anytime soon.

Even though I missed the contest deadline, I still made my “most romantic” concoction, Strawberry Mousse.

The recipe came from Feast on the Cheap, serving 16. Sixteen was more than I wanted, so I halved it! I also left out the preserves since I didn’t have any.

Save some of the strawberry puree and whipped cream before incorporating the two together for garnishing.

 

 

We had the most delicious desserts for several days while I tried to capture just the right picture. Here it’s served in a martini glass.

 

My hubby shared this mousse in a homemade chocolate cup with me.

 

I still had some leftover, so I turned my desk into a mini kitchen and filled these up for my co-workers.

 

 

These adorable mini ice cream cups were advertised to serve a shot of liquor in them.

 

 

These crisps look like chocolate covered potato chips. They’re perfect bite sized tastes.

The winner was announced on Valentine’s Day; Hearts AFire Lobster and Strawberry Parfaits. Lobster Parfaits?! oh, yes please!

You can check it out here on the California Strawberry blog

Next year I’ll be prepared and I’m winning ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. The mix of chocolate and strawberry together is heavenly! I believe I got the mini cones from World Market. The crisps were from Trader Joe’s. I have bookmarked your shrimp in black bean sauce. That looks delicious!

    1. Thank you for swinging by Georgia! Your chocolate mousse looks decadent as well! I think we were on the same sweet quest for Valentine’s Day.
