And if you’re not ready for that level of dessert artistry, no worries. We’ve also got a simpler treat that’s just as satisfying—frozen strawberry chocolate bites with creamy centers. Minimal effort, max flavor. 
Grape “Gemstone” Mousse Cake
A no-bake beauty that layers buttery biscuit base, creamy mousse, and sparkling green grapes in a clear jelly top.
Step 1 – Build the Biscuit Base
Crush 100g biscuits in a ziplock bag until fine. Mix with 30g melted butter, then press into a 6-inch mousse mold evenly. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Step 2 – Make the Creamy Mousse
Blend 150g cream cheese and 60g sugar until smooth. Add 70g yogurt and 150g heavy cream, and mix until silky.
Heat 70g milk on low until just bubbling at the edges. Turn off heat and stir in 10g softened gelatin. Once melted, stir into the mousse mixture. Pour into the mold and chill for 30 minutes.
Step 3 – The Jewel Topping
In a small pot, combine 250g water, 40g sugar, and 15g lemon juice. Warm on low until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add 15g softened gelatin. Let cool.
Take out the chilled mousse and gently arrange about 30 seedless green grapes (trimmed on one end) on top. Slowly pour in the cooled syrup until grapes are just covered. Chill for at least 4 hours until fully set.
Frozen Strawberry Chocolate Bites
A ridiculously simple, crowd-pleasing treat with a surprise inside.
Step 1 – Make the Chocolate Shell
Chop 500g dark chocolate and melt it using a double boiler. Pour a thin layer into silicone molds, swirl to coat, then flip and tap out the extra. Freeze for 5 minutes.
Repeat the process for a second coating to strengthen the shell.
Step 2 – Fill with Cream and Strawberries
Whip together 250ml whipping cream, 250g cream cheese, and 20g sugar until smooth. Pipe the mixture into the molds halfway, then tuck in a hulled fresh strawberry.
Cover the top with more melted chocolate and scrape flat. Freeze for 30 minutes, then pop them out of the molds.
