These strawberry mousse stuffed brandy snaps are absolutely delicious. The spiciness and lemon taste of the ginger in the brandy snaps combined with the fluffy and creamy strawberry mousse really does compliment each other. When the brittle brandy snap breaks with your bite and blends with the strawberry mousse it is just bliss. Yum!
Strawberry mousse stuffed brandy snaps
This strawberry mousse stuffed brandy snap recipe is a combination of two of The Yum Yum Club’s earlier recipes. The brandy snaps were made separately as was the strawberry mousse. It was whilst eating the mousse, that was made after the brandy snaps, that I thoughts, “hang on…”, and the rest, they say, is history.
Instead of simply duplicating both recipes on this post I’ve added a photograph of each and linked this to the original post. Here you can see my description of each recipe along with a few interesting facts. Combined there is the delicious recipe for strawberry mousse stuffed brandy snaps. Yum!
One point to note, however, is both of these recipes can be served and eaten on their own. Further, the brandy snaps have a good 7-day shelf life so it may be worth making these first and storing them. The mousse can then be made on the day it will be served.
Below the link to each recipe is the normal nutritional information and the printable recipe.

- 0.5 cup butter Metric 100 grams

- 0.75 cup plain flour Metric 100 grams
- 1 lemon
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp brandy
-
First, preheat the oven to 200C / 180C Fan / 400F

Gather all of the ingredients together.
-
Add the sugar, butter, brandy, and syrup to a medium saucepan.

-
Mix this well to a thick consistency. Make sure there are no lumps.
-
Using a teaspoon, spoon dollops of the sweet mixture onto the lined baking trays. Ensure there is plenty of space around each spoonful as the mixture will spread when baking. You may need more than one baking tray.
-
Now, place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes or until the ginger brandy snaps are slightly bubbling and colored.

Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave for 3-5 minutes to cool. Once the ginger brandy snaps can be lifted from the paper with a pallet knife then remove and gently fold around the handle of a wooden spoon, or similar.

And that's it. Once cooled remove from the spoon handle and enjoy. Delicious ginger brandy snaps ready to eat or fill with cream. Yum!
