Presentation suggestion:
- These strawberry cheesecake mousse desserts are a lot of fun decorating with fruit, and you can create a range of unique designs for a patriotic look. For example, You can go for the classic American flag with blueberries in the corner and strawberries cut in matchsticks for the stripes. Or you can also make a star on top of the dessert with a combination of blueberries and strawberries as we did on the pictures.
- A great way to dress up your dessert and draw attention to it is to place sparklers on it when it’s time to serve it up. Light the sparklers and sing Happy Birthday to the United States!
