Recipe Instructions
Make the Mousse:
Defrost the strawberries at least 8 hours before making the recipe. Save the water that drains from the berries (no more than 1/4 cup).
In a small bowl, top the gelatin with the liquor and the water from the strawberries. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
Process the drained berries in a food processor until very smooth.
In a saucepan, combine the gelatin mixture, cream cheese, sugar, white chocolate, processed berries, lemon curd, vanilla extract, and citrus zest. Heat over very low heat and mix until well blended. Bring to a boil and use an immersion blender if necessary to smooth out the mixture until very smooth. Transfer to a large glass or stainless steel bowl. Place in the freezer or on an ice bath and mix every 10 minutes until the temperature is about 40ºF / 5ºC.
Whip the cream to a firm whipped cream.
Using a spatula, fold the whipped cream into the cooled strawberry mixture.
Pour the mousse into cold glasses and refrigerate for at least 5-6 hours.
Before serving, top the mousse with strawberry sauce and whipped cream, and decorate with reserved strawberries and mint leaves.
Make the Strawberry Sauce:
Clean and roughly chop the strawberries.
In a large bowl, add the strawberries, sugar, salt, orange liqueur, and orange zest. Let the mixture macerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight.
Test a couple of strawberries to make sure they are sweet enough. If they are not, add more sugar. If they are too sweet, add some lemon juice.
Puree the mixture in a blender until very smooth.
Serve the strawberry sauce as desired. It can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen 17 Years 😊.
