Dark chocolate and strawberries are a heavenly flavour combination. It’s even better when the strawberries are marinated in good balsamic, the chocolate is blended into a creamy chocolate mousse and the whole thing is topped off with mint. Your guests won't want to leave. And best of all, the individual components of the dessert can all be easily prepared in advance.
