Patriotic Strawberry Blueberry Mousse

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Patriotic Strawberry Blueberry Mousse.

1. Step 1

   Start by whipping the heavy cream in a large bowl until it forms stiff peaks. This is where the magic begins, as the cream will add a light and airy texture to your dessert. Once you have those peaks, gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until everything is beautifully combined. Set this luscious mixture aside for now.

2. Step 2

   Next, take half of your thawed strawberries and blend them until smooth. This will create a vibrant strawberry puree that will add a burst of flavor. In a large bowl, mix the pureed strawberries with the remaining whole strawberries, creating a delightful medley of textures and tastes.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to build your masterpiece! Start by layering one-third of the angel food cake cubes at the bottom of a trifle dish or any serving dish you have on hand. Follow this with one-third of the strawberry and blueberry mixture, and then spoon one-third of the creamy mascarpone mixture over the top. Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with the creamy layer on top. Cover your creation and chill it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

4. Step 4

   When it’s time to impress your guests, take a vegetable peeler and run it along the edge of the dark chocolate bar to create beautiful chocolate curls. Sprinkle these curls generously over the top of your dessert for a touch of elegance and a hint of rich chocolate flavor.
