1. Insert (the day before): gelatin-set strawberry coulis or crémeux in 2–3 cm diameter sticks. Freeze for 4 hours.
2. Mousse: pipe into each cavity until halfway full, then tap gently to remove air bubbles
3. Insert: place lengthwise in the cavity and press down slightly
4. Seal: fill with mousse to the top. Add a 4 cm diameter shortbread biscuit base (optional)
5. Freezing: at least 6 to 8 hours at -18°C

What strawberry shape does this mold reproduce?
It is straight and elongated, similar to a Gariguette — France's most iconic strawberry variety.

Mirror glaze or velvet spray for a strawberry effect?
Red mirror glaze creates a glossy, lacquered skin effect and is the most realistic option. Matte red velvet spray gives a more natural, velvety appearance.

How do you make the green stem?
Use tempered white chocolate tinted green with oil-soluble coloring, shaped into a slender 3–4 cm stem. Insert it immediately after applying the glaze or velvet spray for perfect adhesion.

What is the total volume for 6 cavities?
95 ml × 6 = 570 ml of mousse. Prepare 650 ml to allow for piping and smoothing.
