White Chocolate-Key Lime Mousse Pie
With Fresh Strawberries
Recipe Courtesy of Chef Doreen Fang
Serves 8
Ingredients
Crust
1 ½ cups Graham-cracker
crumbs
7 Tbsp Unsalted
butter, melted and cooled
3 Tbsp Sugar
Filling
½ cup Fresh Key Lime juice
1 tsp Unflavored gelatin
1 cup Chilled heavy whipping cream
5 oz White chocolate, chopped or chips
1 tsp Grated
lime peel
6 Tbsp Powdered
sugar
3 Tbsp Sour
cream
Topping
2 – 12 oz basket Strawberries, hulled, dried and
sliced
1/3 cup (approx) Seedless strawberry jam
Mint for garnish
Preparation
Crust
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl combine the graham-cracker,
sugar and melted butter and mix well till thoroughly combined. Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake till lightly brown, approximately 10-12
minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely
on a wire rack.
Filling
Put lime juice in a small bowl and sprinkle the
gelatin over the juice. Let it stand for
10 minutes to soften the gelatin. In a
medium sauce pan, bring ¼ cup heavy cream to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and add the white
chocolate; stir until melted and completely smooth. Add the lime/gelatin mixture. Stir till the mixture completely dissolves
with the white chocolate mixture; add the lime peel, mixing thoroughly. Transfer
to a med/large bowl and chill mixture, stirring often, until the mixture is
cold and has thicken but not set yet.
About 45 minutes.
Beat the remaining ¾ cup of cream, powdered sugar
and sour cream to medium-stiff peaks in a medium bowl over an ice bath. Fold the whipped cream mixture into the white
chocolate/key lime mixture till fully incorporated. Spoon the mousse into the crust, spreading it
evenly across the crust. Chill mousse
till it sets, approximately 4 hours.
This can be made a day in advance. Covered and refrigerated.
Topping
Melt jam in a small sauce pan over low heat, stir
often. Allow to cool. In a large bowl, add the strawberry slices
and add the melted jam and using a rubber spatula, gently fold the jam and
strawberries; covering all the slices with jam.
Starting with the outside edge closest to the
crust, arrange the berries slices one at a time, with the tips facing outward,
making a circle. Once you’ve gone all the
way around you will begin the next layer, slightly overlapping the next layer
of berries on top of the last layer.
Continue laying out the berries in a circle as they get smaller and
closer to the center and end with a few berry slices in the middle. You are creating a flower and the slices are
the “petals”.
Again, this can be done about 3 hours prior to
serving. Keep covered and
refrigerated.
Garnish with mint prior to serving.
Slice, serve and enjoy!
