You need to have enough chocolate to create the scrolled look, therefore a bar of chocolate works best for this.

Hold the chocolate bar over the creme brulee and “peel” the chocolate away from you to create the scroll.

Ferrero Rocher

Ferrero rochers can be chopped up into small pieces to top creme brulee with.

After you’ve burnt the sugar on top of the custard, add the ferrero rocher pieces.

Nuts

Walnuts and pecans work well for a topping for vanilla or chocolate creme brulee.

Whipped Cream

Whipped cream is a soft, pillow-y rich flavored topping for creme brulee.

Whipped cream is generally cold, so it has ability to melt if you add it too soon after the sugar is burnt.

Wait a few minutes for the sugar to cool down before adding the whipped cream topping.

Candied lemon peels look beautiful and unique on top of lemon creme brulee.

Chocolate covered strawberries are a decadent, crunchy, juicy dessert you can easily make at home.

If you’re wanting to decorate your chocolate covered strawberries to make them a little more professional looking, you can add a ton of color and texture using a few simple ingredients.

Sprinkles

Sprinkles can be put on top of your chocolate covered strawberries right after dipping them.

Sprinkles need something to adhere to, therefore adding a little drizzled chocolate on top, or right after dipping the strawberries is your best way to go.

You can add themed sprinkles, colored sprinkles, classy gold or clear sprinkles on top of your chocolate covered strawberries depending on the occasion you’re making them for.

Drizzled Chocolate

You can add a contrast of color by using either white chocolate or milk/dark chocolate.

Melt a small amount of contrasting colored chocolate in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.

Add your melted chocolate to piping bag fitted with a very small round tip.

The chocolate will come out quickly, so you need to be able to work fast.

If you don’t have a piping bag, you can dip a spoon into the melted chocolate, let the excess drip off, and gently hover the spoon over the chocolate covered strawberry.

Move the spoon from side to side to create a couple of lines on top of the strawberry.

Chocolate Scrolls

Chocolate scrolls can be made using a potato peeler and a contrasting colored chocolate bar.

You need to have enough chocolate to create the scrolled look, therefore a bar of chocolate works best for this.

Hold the chocolate bar over the strawberry and “peel” the chocolate away from you to create the scroll.

Let the scroll fall on top of the freshly dipped chocolate strawberry so the scrolls can adhere to the strawberry.

Allow the strawberries to dry for about an hour in the fridge prior to serving.

Painted Gold

You can make your strawberries painted gold with a few specialty tools.

• food safe paint brush
• almond extract
• gold dust

Make up your “paint” by adding a very tiny amount of gold dust to a plate.

Add a couple of drops of almond extract.

Mix them together to create your paint.

If your paint dries out, add a little more almond extract to make up your wet paint again.

A little gold dust goes a long way. The gold dust actually shimmers when you paint it on.

Use a food safe paint brush with a decent sized tip on the end so you can brush the strawberries quickly. Let them dry for about 30 minutes – 1 hour prior to packaging them up.

Gold dusted strawberries are one of kind. You can make them for a special occasion like a bridal shower, New Year’s party, or wedding anniversary.

Icing Decorations

You can make up some royal icing to create beautiful designs on top of chocolate colored strawberries.

Make up different colors of royal icing to add a pop of color on the strawberries.

Royal icing will harden up after you leave it to dry for a couple of hours, so you don’t have to worry about the designs smudging on the strawberries.

If you’re just wanting to add a little color to your chocolate covered strawberries, you can drizzle the icing back and forth to make a “zebra” design.

Add a couple of sprinkles on top of the icing if desired.

Check out these cute strings of lights made with royal icing.

Nuts

You can use pecans or walnuts for your chocolate covered strawberries. Cut either nut into small fine pieces using a large knife.

Lay the cut up nuts on a plate. Dip your strawberry into melted chocolate, and then roll the strawberry into the nuts.

Place the strawberry on a fresh plate with parchment paper lining the plate.

Let the chocolate covered strawberry dry for about an hour in the fridge prior to serving.

Mousse is a creamy decadent dessert that generally needs a stabilizer like gelatin if you’re making mousse with whipped cream.

However, there are options to make mousse without using gelatin. You’re going to need to use something that whips up thicker than whipped cream.

Coconut cream is a thick, creamy base you can use to make mousse with, without requiring the use of gelatin.

To use coconut cream as your base for making mousse, you’ll need to separate the coconut water from coconut cream.

Place the can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. The cream will solidify in the fridge, whereas the water will remain liquid.

Pour out the water from the can of coconut milk, we won’t be using coconut water to make mousse.

Another thing to note, if you’re making a fruit or berry mousse, you’ll want to mix the mousse right before you serve it. You can prepare the mousse the day before you want to serve it, just mix immediately before serving it into dishes.

The water from the puree or fruit will separate from the coconut milk overtime, but this does not effect the flavor, only the look of the mousse.

Place the coconut cream in a stand mixer, and beat it on medium speed for about 5-7 minutes. The coconut cream should be whipped until it’s thick and creamy for your mousse.

At this point, you can flavor your mousse using a berry puree. Make sure you remove the seeds by using a strainer. You’ll want a smooth, concentrated sauce to flavor your coconut cream with.

Another option to flavor your mousse is by adding melted chocolate, or cocoa powder to create a chocolate creamy mousse.

You can add decorations to your mousse made without gelatin by using berries, chocolate scrolls, or powdered sugar dusted on top.

Try making raspberry mousse, or chocolate mousse to make mousse without gelatin.

You can decorate mousse using chocolate, fresh fruit, mint leaves, mint leaves, compote, and whipped cream.

Some of the decorations work better with fruit mousse, and some are better suited for chocolate mousse.

Make sure to pick a complimenting flavor for your decoration to match your flavor of mousse.

Fresh Fruit

Fresh fruit can be used to decorate mousse with a burst of sweet berries or slices of kiwi.

You can arrange the berries to be flat on top of the mousse, so they look like they’re standing up on the mousse for a beautiful look.

• raspberries
• kiwi slices
• sliced strawberries

Try making raspberry mousse for a burst of creamy raspberry flavor, decorated with fresh raspberries.

Vanilla Whipped Cream
