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!

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.
