Nutella Ganache Topped with Strawberry Mousse

Ever after I have made Dark Chocolate Ganache, I am experimenting the technique with other ingredients – milk chocolate, different Dairy Milk bars, peanut butter and of late Nutella. Every ingredient has its own charm to it, and I really fond of all of them. On one fine day, I am making sexy truffles out of it, and on another I am dripping over a cake and somewhere in between I am digging my dessert spoon to simply eat it as it is!

Well, today I am here with a little twist to our classic Strawberry Mousse. Of late, I have become a big fan of Nutella and I love strawberries, and when I mix these two in one single recipe, I am always sure that it will be a hit (at least for me!). So, when I added a good dollop of Nutella ganache to this mousse, it simply elevated my dessert to a sweet ‘ambrosial’ level. Here is my recipe –
