More About This Recipe

  • Layered cake with a brownie base, topped with creamy strawberry cheesecake mousse and a strawberry gelée. The combination of chocolate and strawberry is a classic, but this dessert puts those flavors together in a fresh way. Indulge in layers of decadently rich chocolate brownie topped with luscious strawberry cheesecake mousse and a refreshing strawberry gelée. When strawberries are in season you can use fresh ones to make this cake, but the beauty of the recipe is that it tastes great even with frozen strawberries. So it's perfect any time of year! Gelée is simply a soft gelatin made from fresh fruit. It's thicker than a glaze and will stay put when this cake is un-molded from the springform pan. When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator and un-mold from the pan. Cut into slices and serve!
