Berries and Mousse on the Biscuit

This is a very recent invention here at the Manor (thanks to Carol).  We had some leftover biscuits (a traditional butter-based version of baking powder biscuits) and a hankering for something sweet.  That coupled with a box kit of mousse and strawberry season providing us with more preserves lead to this concoction.

Ingredients
  • batch of homemade baking powder biscuits
  • Chocolate mousse (we use Dr Oetker's mousse mix)
  • Strawberry preserves (ours is frozen, low-pectin, and is a little loose)
  • Chocolate syrup
  • Whipped cream

Steps
  1. Slice a biscuit in half and lay both halves on the plate.
  2. Spoon a 1/2 cup of chocolate mousse on the biscuit.
  3. Spoon a 1/4 cup of strawberry preserves over top.
  4. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whole thing.
  5. Top with whipped cream.
