2.      Slice off the tops of the strawberries, and cut at the small end to create ‘Santa’s hat’. Using a small paring knife, hollow out a small portion of each strawberry to create room for mousse filling.
3.      Spoon mousse into pastry bag (you can use a plastic bag and cut a corner to pipe mousse) and pipe into the cavity of each strawberry. Garnish with "Santa's hat" and a dot of mousse.

Appetizing or Ick?



  1. Chocolate Truffles are so called because of their resemblance to the highly prized fungus of the same name.
  2. Chocolate was first enjoyed in beverages; it was only much later that it came to be used in solid form.
  3. Chocolate and cocoa are not only used in desserts, they can also be added to savory dishes such as stews and sauces.
  4. When chocolate mousse was invented, it was known as chocolate mayonnaise!
