Instructions:
- In a small bowl or cup, add the gelatin into the cold water, combine, and let it sit for a few minutes to set.
- In a heatproof pan, add ½ cup heavy cream and dark chocolate. Melt this mixture over a double-boiler or in a microwave (on 30 sec. intervals).
- Then, add the gelatin to the melted dark chocolate mixture and stir until incorporated. Set aside to cool at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, whisk the remaining 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream until creamy. Apply the melted dark chocolate and gelatin mix and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the batter into non-stick deep round cake tin with a loose base or a round serving plate; smooth it with a spatula and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm, until you prepare the next strawberry mousse layer.
- Repeat the procedure for preparing the strawberry mousse and then the white chocolate mousse layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours (or preferably overnight) to set.
- To finish, run a sharp knife around the edges of the cake in order to remove the sides of the pan. (if you used a round serving plate you can go on with decorating, slicing and serving part).
- Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries or dust with cocoa powder (optional).
Enjoy!
