Ingredients
- 6 waffle bowls
- 1 1/4 cup dark chocolate melting candies
Strawberry Mouse:
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3/4 teaspoon strawberry gelatin
- M&M's® Pastel Plain - for garnish
- MARS Spring Mix Minis - for garnish
Instructions
- In a double broiler over low heat melt 1 cup melting candies. Once the candies have softened, stir occasionally until smooth. Remove immediately from the heat and fold in remaining 1/4 cup of chocolates.
- Brush each wafer cup with chocolate and place on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate to set while preparing the mousse.
- In a small bowl toss together fresh strawberry slices with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes. Place the strawberries in the food processor and puree.
- In another separate small measuring cup of bowl, stir 2 tablespoons of water with gelatin. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, just until the mixture has thickened. Add the gelatin to the strawberry puree. Cover and refrigerate for about 15 minutes until the mixture has thickened slightly.
- In the meantime, in a large bowl, whip cream with confectioner’s sugar and vanilla until firm peaks form. Set aside some whipped cream for later for assembly.
- Add the strawberry mixture to the whipped cream, 1/2 cup at time, folding gently between each addition. Cover and refrigerate for 15 – 20 minutes, or until ready to serve.
Assembly:
- Assemble your Easter Eggs before serving.
- Fill each prepared wafer cup with strawberry mouse, top with a dollop of reserved whipped cream.
- Shave one of the chocolate candies from the Spring Mix Minis over each egg cup, then top with M&M's® Pastel Plain candies.
- Place the eggs in your Easter basket display for a festive touch and serve.
