As it was only my husband and I who were enjoying the mousse, I decided to use the extra mousse for some strawberry charlottes. Instead of making the sponge fingers from scratch, I used store bought ones which I already have in my baking cupboard. The charlottes were supposed to have been topped with freshly whipped thickened cream but unfortunately in my haste I had over-whipped it and it split on me. I had no choice but to throw it away and it was such a waste! I am sure it would have been lovely sitting on top of the charlottes and would have been equally delicious. Anyway I still went ahead with the assembly of the entire dessert and topped each one with fresh strawberries and blueberries. These charlottes are so easy to put together and I'm sure they will wow your guests when served as individual desserts.

Oh wow.....looks yum......
I agree! Now the strawberry and cherries are so in abundance! Nice job here!
Love the 2nd picture. Looks like the perfectly sized dessert portion.
They look so lovely! I haven't eaten lunch and now anything I have will pale in comparison.
Btw, if you add a bit more heavy cream to the over beaten cream it will come back together. I've tired it and its worked. (Use your best judgement on how much cream to add.)

So cute and summery!
Looks lovely!
These are so pretty!
So pretty! Great use of mousse and berries.
Wow... so lovely!
This to me is the perfect summer cake. Been thinking of making a large version but I find the recipe rather intimidating.
