Strawberry Brownie Mousse Torte
Base
1 pkg. Pillsbury Rich & Moist Fudge Brownie Mix
½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 large eggs
Topping
2 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin (1 packet)
1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen whole strawberries, thawed
1½ cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup powdered sugar
Garnish
Fresh whole strawberries, chocolate curls
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of
a10-inch spring form pan only. In large mixing bowl, combine base
ingredients. Blend by hand until well blended (approximately 50
strokes). Spread brownie mix into pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove
from oven and let torte cool completely (at least 1 hour). Meanwhile, in
small saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of water. Sprinkle gelatin over water
and let stand for 1 minute or until gelatin softens. Place strawberries
in blender or food processor with metal blade and blend until smooth.
Transfer strawberries to softened gelatin and cook over medium heat
until gelatin has completely dissolved. Place in bowl, cover and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until mixture is slightly thickened.
Once strawberry mix has reached desired consistency, place whipping
cream in mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar. Blend with wire whisk on
high speed until stiff peaks start to form. Fold strawberries into
cream, mixing well. Spread mousse over cooled brownie torte and
refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Before serving, remove torte from
pan and plate on serving platter. Garnish with whole strawberries dipped
in milk or white chocolate or chocolate curls.
