How to Make Strawberry Chocolate Mousse Cake
  1. Melt chocolate: Begin by placing the chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler. Heat gently, stirring occasionally until completely smooth and melted, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Whip cream: In a separate bowl, pour in the chilled heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to whip until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract halfway through.
  3. Fold together: Once the chocolate has cooled slightly, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula, maintaining the airy texture.
  4. Layer dessert: In a serving dish, spoon a layer of mousse followed by a layer of fresh sliced strawberries. Continue alternating, finishing with mousse.
  5. Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours to set and meld the flavors.
  6. Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings and extra strawberries on top.
