Description
A luxurious no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy pistachio mousse, rich melted chocolate, fresh strawberries, and crushed pistachios—all beautifully arranged in a clear cup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g dark chocolate (high-quality, like Belgian or Swiss, melted)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp pistachio butter (or smooth almond butter for variation)
- 1 tbsp honey or date syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
- 2 whole fresh strawberries
- ¼ cup crushed pistachios
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, pistachio butter, honey (or date syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and creamy.
- Set aside in the fridge to chill while preparing the other layers.
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Let it cool slightly to thicken for easier layering.
- Take a clear plastic or glass cup and drizzle a small amount of melted chocolate at the bottom.
- Add a layer of sliced strawberries, pressing them against the inner sides of the cup for a neat, visible pattern.
- Spoon a layer of the pistachio mousse over the strawberries, making sure it spreads evenly.
- Repeat the layering: chocolate drizzle, strawberries, pistachio mousse until the cup is nearly full.
- Pour a final smooth layer of melted chocolate over the top, ensuring a thick, glossy coating that covers the entire surface.
- Let it set for a few minutes until slightly firm.
- Sprinkle crushed pistachios generously over the chocolate layer.
- Place two whole fresh strawberries on top for a perfect finishing touch.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for a chilled, firm texture.
