Hi !!!
Here you go...

Strawberry Chocolate Mousse Cake

Original recipe yield:
1 - 9 inch cake

INGREDIENTS
1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 pints fresh strawberries, halved
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon white sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, mix crumbs and butter to blend thoroughly. Press evenly onto bottom of 9 inch springform pan. Stand strawberry halves about pan, touching, side-by-side, pointed ends up, with cut sides against the side of pan; set aside.
Place chocolate chips in blender container. In small saucepan over medium heat, mix water and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Immediately pour over chocolate chips and blend until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
While chocolate cools, in a large mixer bowl, beat 1 1/2 c of the cream to form stiff peaks. With a rubber spatula, fold cooled chocolate into whipped cream to blend thoroughly. Pour into prepared pan. Level top. Points of strawberries might extend about the chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours.
Up to 2 hours before serving, in a medium mixing bowl, beat remaining 1 c cream to form soft peaks. Add sugar. Beat to form stiff peaks. Remove side of pan. Place cake on serving plate. Pipe or dollop whipped cream onto top of cake. Arrange remaining halved strawberries on whipped cream. To serve, cut into wedges with thin knife, wiping blade between cuts.

Answer 2

Get a regular cake mix (preferably devil's food cake from Pillsbury), and one of those cheap-o heart shaped baking tins. Then put chocolate icing on it after it cools, & make sliced strawberries into hearts on the cake. It looks really pretty & tastes delicious!

Answer 3

purchase the already made sugar cookie dough on the save, roll it out and shrink into coronary heart shapes then dip one a million/2 in melted milk chocolate. whilst that dries, soften somewhat white chocolate in a zipper lock bag interior the microwave (30 sec at a time till finally melted) and positioned a small hollow in one corner and drizzle over the full cookie. seems rather surprisingly and little or no artwork.

Answer 4

Red velvet cake
