Directions
1

Roughly chop the cookies and blend them into a fine powder. Melt the butter and pour it over the cookies. Mix to obtain a homogeneous paste and spread this mixture in the bottom of a pastry ring about twenty centimeters in diameter, lined with parchment paper or plastic wrap. For the strawberry mousse: place the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water to soften them. Whip the cold cream with the sugar until firm and set aside in the refrigerator. Blend the hulled strawberries to obtain a puree. Heat half of this puree in the microwave for a few seconds and dissolve the well-drained gelatin in it. Once the puree has cooled slightly, gently fold it into the whipped cream using a spatula. Pour the mousse over the cookie base and let everything set in the refrigerator for two hours. For the strawberry topping: gently heat the 200 g of strawberry puree. Remove from heat and dissolve the 3 g of gelatin that has been previously softened in cold water. Allow it to cool slightly. Pour this topping over the strawberry mousse and return the dessert to the refrigerator for 3-4 hours before serving. Decorate the dessert with a few fresh strawberries before serving.

    Indeed, the wording is not very clear in the ingredients; it mentions lemons, but where do we put them? I tried it in the second layer, and it seems to work. Thank you for this excellent recipe that is also beautiful to look at.

    Good recipe, personally I don't use a sauce, just fresh strawberries (same amount as for the icing) and I also add a bit of lemon to the mousse preparation. Always a success, but be careful to wait before pouring the icing; otherwise, everything might mix (mousse and icing).

    Note that lemon and sugar should be added with the sauce for the finishing (this is not mentioned in the detailed description of the recipe). I tested a variant by replacing the cookies with chocolate biscuits (same amount) and I made the recipe with raspberries instead of strawberries.

    It's true that the recipe isn't explained very well, but you first make the mixture of butter and cookies, then the mixture of whipped cream, sugar, and strawberries blended together, and finally the sauce mixed with lemon and sugar. And there you go, just enjoy! It's a really good recipe.

    I really like this recipe, but when and where do we add the lemon listed in the ingredients? So I didn't add it; otherwise, in the photo, there is a color difference between pink and white, while mine is only pink unless I misunderstood.
