Ingredients
  

For the Mousse:
  • 2 cups whipping cream for a light and fluffy mousse
  • 7 oz dark chocolate (70%-75% cocoa content) for a rich chocolate flavor
  • 5 tablespoons Nutella to enhance the chocolate experience
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar to sweeten the mousse
For the Strawberries:
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries to add a touch of freshness and color
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar for the strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice to balance the sweetness of the strawberries

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Serving glasses or bowls

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by breaking the dark chocolate into smaller pieces and placing it in a double boiler over simmering water or in a microwave-safe bowl. If using a microwave, heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, pour in 2 cups of whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and whip the cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as you want it to remain light and airy.
  3. Once the melted chocolate has cooled but is still pourable, stir in the 5 tablespoons of Nutella until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the chocolate-Nutella mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. The mousse should be fluffy and airy.
  5. Spoon the mousse into your serving glasses or bowls, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. While the mousse is chilling, wash and slice the fresh strawberries. In a bowl, combine the strawberries with caster sugar and lemon juice. Let them macerate for about 10-15 minutes to enhance their sweetness and flavor.
  7. Once the mousse is set, remove it from the fridge. Top each serving with the macerated strawberries and some additional whipped cream if desired. Enjoy this Chocolate Nutella Mousse with Strawberries immediately!

Notes

  • Prepare the mousse a day ahead for enhanced flavor.
  • Experiment with different fruits for seasonal variations.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
