Eggless Strawberry Chocolate Mousse Video Recipe

July 6, 2020 By Sangeetha Priya 5 Comments

Reduced Pectin Strawberry Chocolate Mousse

Eggless Strawberry Chocolate Mousse is an extremely delicious summer dessert with the healthy whole wheat jaggery cookie as a base and filled with layers of Strawberry and Chocolate. Also its is

topped with fruits and whipped cream (optional) and its a single serving cup which i made twice before posting here. This dessert became my daughter’s favorite and I am planning to make it again this week. Also happiness is I made this dessert with my garden grown strawberries 😊. Last year my friend gave a plant and it spread well this year in a raised bed, giving big fruits like store bought ones 😊 (refer step wise picture 6)

Mousse is the lighter and fluffier dessert, Its lighter texture comes from whipping air into the mixture. ie by whipping egg whites or whipped cream into the base mixture. It is always served cold or frozen. Today’s recipe is Egg Free Version, uses optional sugar and minimal/reduced Pectin/Agar Agar to set.

How to Handle Gelatin

I use powdered Agar Agar Powder. You can use liquid or powdered Pectin (plant based) or China Grass or any Vegetarian /Vegan friendly to this recipe. Agar agar behaves as Gelatin, so dissolve it first in cold water, once bloomed warm the mixture and add it to the fruit puree.

Know About Frozen Desserts

Each dessert has a different origin. Trifle is a cold dessert of sponge cake and fruit covered with layers of custard, jelly, and cream. They are layered and fruit is not incorporated like Mousse.

Pudding is the cousin of Mousse. Mousse doesn’t contain any add-ins, like nuts, grains, or fruit, but pudding does. Its sometimes cooked or steamed unlike Mousse So they can be served warm or cold.

Panna Cotta is an Italian dessert of sweetened cream thickened with gelatin and molded. It is something close to mousse but it has regular milk and cream is not whipped. Basically a cold Italian custard, often served with fruit sauce or caramel syrup.

Parfait is a flavored frozen custard containing whipped cream and syrup frozen without stirring in to the cream mixture. Particularly in America ice cream is most often used in it. Also it can be made with layers of sweetened flavored yogurt and packed with granola and fresh fruits.

Know About Strawberry Layer

Here in this recipe Strawberry Layer just three main ingredient Strawberry Puree, Cream and Agar agar. This layer has optional sugar and if the kind of gelatin/pectin is unflavored then do use vanilla extract like i did.

Know About Chocolate Layer

You can use minimal pectin here but i didn’t add. Also you can whip the cream and add melted chocolate like strawberry layer to get airy chocolate mousse but this layer looks shiny and gorgeous with my method. I used semi sweet chocolate and didn’t add any sugar, if you like do add powdered sugar do adjust accordingly.

How to Make Strawberry Chocolate Mousse

  • Powder the homemade cookies (Pic 1 &2 ) or graham crackers.
  • Add melted butter to it , refer Pic 3 for the consistency.

  • In a small bowl add 1 tbsp cold water and dissolve Agar Agar.
  • Also warm the mixture in microwave and when its not so hot do add it to the prepared puree (Pic 8) and mix well.
  • In the chilled bowl whip the cream from medium to stiff consistency (Pic 9), add the prepared Strawberry Puree to it (Pic 10).

  • The unset strawberry mousse looks like shown in Picture 11.

Notes

  1. Pectin usually cooked with fruit preserve/jam, in this recipe we are not cooking anything so heat the mixture with water or juice.
  2. Don’t over work with whipping cream, just swirls of thickening indication is enough since pectin/agar agar helps it to set well..
  3. I use 1.5tsp pectin powder for this recipe.
  4. If using Agar Agar take 1tsp for this recipe.
  5. Agar Agar / Pectin needs high solidifying temperature to melt.

  1. You can use double broiler for melting chocolate for chocolate layer otherwise cream overheats and releases butter.
  2. Wait for the Strawberry layer to set completely and pour the chocolate layer very gently.
  3. Its optional to decorate the mousse with whipped cream.
  4. Instead of Strawberry do use Mango or any other fruit and do check Mango Mousse Recipe HERE.
