Strawberry Mousse Cake
I was never a cake fan, until farely recent. And finally I had a chance to make that strawberry mousse cake I wanted to make ever since strawberries are emerging all over the place here in Ontario. Perhaps it’s all over North America too, I am sure.
We got organic strawberries from St. Jacob’s market in Waterloo, as well as fresh and unpasteurized buckwheat honey (yipee!!), and I wonder what I should do with all the strawberries we bought.
I have always liked mousse cake. Manggo, Strawberry, chocolate, even tiramisu types. But, I have never made one! Partly because it is so hard to find halaal gelatin around the neighbourhood.
So when I finally got some from a far-far away land, I decided I should only use 1 tablespoon a month. 
. Guess what, I found some later this week at a halaal store near our place!! Haha. Of course it’s about 1.5 times more expensive. About $4 a package, each package contains 4 little sachets. Each sachet can make one jello dessert (a small one I may add).
But, I was a happy camper, I must say. So when a couple of good friends of ours came this weekend (Hello Sermin and Firdaus!! 
). I finally had the guts to make a strawberry mousse cake.
I think I half failed since the mousse kind of melted.
Lesson learned: Use more cream and gelatin than you think. Whip hard, and refrigerate hard.
Alhamdulillah, I think they liked the cake though. Next time, I have to make a sturdier one. Happy eating!
