Ingredients
  

Roasted Strawberries

  • 750 g Strawberries, hulled
  • ¼ Cup Juice of orange
  • 2 tablespoon Juice of lemon
  • 60 g Caster sugar
  • 60 ml Raspberry or orange liqueur

Berry Biscuit Mousse & Lady Fingers

  • 310 ml Cream, divided
  • 250 g Whittaker’s Creamy Milk Berry & Biscuit chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 2 large Egg yolks
  • 30 g Caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste
  • 300 g Mascarpone cheese
  • 150 g Italian lady finger savoiardi biscuits (¾ of a 200g pack)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C regular bake. Line a medium baking dish with baking paper. Grease a round baking dish with spray oil and line it with cling film.
  • Cut the larger strawberries into quarters and smaller ones in half. Add to the baking dish with orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar. Toss and bake for 25-30 minutes until tender.
  • Drain the strawberries, reserving the syrup and stirring in liqueur.
  • Combine ¾ cup cream and chocolate in a bowl, microwave for 1 minute, and whisk until melted. Cool the ganache in the fridge.
  • Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla over simmering water for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy, then remove from heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat mascarpone and remaining cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the cooled ganache and egg yolk mixture.

Assembly

  • Spread the drained roasted strawberries as an even layer in the baking dish. Dip savoiardi biscuits in syrup mixture and layer on top.
  • Spoon over the mousse, and add another layer of soaked biscuits, pushing them into the mousse.
  • Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 5-6 hours or overnight.
  • To serve, flip the cake onto a serving plate and gently remove the tin and cling film.

Notes

This cake is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
