Tips for Making the Best Strawberry Mousse Cake Filling
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer. It makes it easier and quicker to whip up the whipped cream for the mousse.
Use good quality white chocolate! It melts down more easily and gives the mousse a stronger flavor.
You can use white chocolate bars, chips, or wafers to make this mousse. However, you can’t use white candy melts!
Be sure you’re using heavy whipping cream. You need a high fat percentage to have it whip up properly.
Keep an eye on your mixer as you whip up the strawberry whipped cream! If you over-mix it, it will turn into butter.
Keep this strawberry mousse cake filling cold. It can lose its shape and structure if it gets too warm.
If you add this to a cake, make sure you pipe a ring of buttercream frosting around the edge of the cake layer. This will help keep this softer cake filling in place.
Making This Strawberry Mousse Cake Filling in Advance & Storage Tips
The strawberry mousse can be made in advance! It can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap.
Once a cake or cupcakes have been filled with this filling, keep them refrigerated.
