Instructions for Dark Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Bonbon

Prepare the Gelatin

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

Melt the Chocolate

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Make Strawberry Puree

In a blender, puree the fresh strawberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds if desired.

Combine Strawberry Puree and Gelatin

Heat the bloomed gelatin in a microwave for about 10 seconds until melted. Stir it into the strawberry puree along with the vanilla extract and powdered sugar.

Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture until well combined.

Combine Chocolate and Mousse

Fold the melted dark chocolate into the strawberry mousse mixture until fully incorporated.

Mold the Bonbons

Pour the mousse mixture into silicone bonbon molds, filling them to the top. Smooth the surface and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Unmold and Serve

Once set, carefully unmold the bonbons and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
