The points of the strawberries might extend about the chocolate mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.

EASY STRAWBERRY MOUSSE

Steps:

• Dissolve jello mix in hot/boiling water. Set aside to cool. Don't let it get chunky though.
• Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar together until medium peaks form.
• Once Jello mixture has cooled but is still runny (not chunky) slowly pour it into the cream mixture with mixer on low speed. (If jello mixture is to warm add 2-4 ice cubes to it to help cool but make sure it doesn't cool too much and become jelly. This will cause your mousse to have clumps in it.) NOTE: If jello mixture is too warm it will deflate the cream and become very runny).
• Finish whipping strawberry mousse mixture until stiff peaks are formed then refrigerate until ready to serve.

• Put the strawberries, lemon juice, sugar and 2 tbsp water in a large pan over a medium heat and cook for 5 mins until the fruit has softened. Scrape into a bowl leave to cool. Tip 300g of the mixture into a blender (reserve the rest for later), blitz until smooth and sieve into a jug.
• Whisk the mascarpone in a large bowl to soften, then add the double cream, vanilla bean paste and lemon zest, and whisk again until just starting to thicken.
