Ingredients/ Συστατικά
  • 1 envelope 100 gr. / 3.5 oz. of strawberry jelly
  • 6 rounded puff pastries with diameter 8 cm / 3 in. or one puff pastry sheet cut in 6 rounded or rectangular pieces
For the Chocolate Mousse
  • 200 gr. / 7 oz. dark chocolate 60% cocoa
  • 120 gr. / 4 oz. milk
  • 200 ml / 7 fl oz. heavy cream 35% fat
  • 2 tsp confectioner’s sugar
Instructions/ Εκτέλεση
  1. The day before prepare the jelly according to package’s instructions and pour it in a rectangular vessel 28cm X 18cm / 11in. X 7 in. to stabilize.
  2. You can add actual strawberries to the jelly as well.
For the Chocolate Mousse
  1. Boil the milk.
  2. In a glass bowl place the chocolate cut in small pieces and pour the hot milk.
  3. Incorporate and put aside.
  4. In your mixer bowl pour the heavy cream and confectioner’s sugar and whisk with the wire whip until it becomes thick as a Greek yogurt.
  5. Slowly, slowly add it to the chocolate batter and incorporate.
  6. Put it in the fridge.
Same Day
  1. Preheat oven to 200° C / 400° F.
  2. With a fork pierce the puff pastries so they won’t become puffy.
  3. We want them as flat as possible.
  4. Bake until they are done.
  5. Remove and let them cool completely.
Assembly
  1. Cut the jelly in six pieces with the same dimensions as your puff pastry pieces.
  2. Whisk mousse for a few seconds so as to become fluffy and put it in a piping bag.
  3. Cut the puff pastries transversely.
  4. Put one piece on a plate.
  5. Add the jelly and on top of this pipe the mousse.
  6. Add the other piece of puff pastry.
  7. On top pipe some more chocolate mousse.
  8. Do the same for the rest.
  9. Serve immediately.
Note: if your puff pastries are too flat to cut them in half you must double them and instead of six you will need twelve. Keep in mind that each piece needs two puff pastry pieces.
