Charlotte Royale

Traditionally, a Charlotte Royale recipe is a dessert which can be served either hot or cold usually with bread, sponge or cookies as the outer layer of the goody inside. The outer layer is usually brushed with gelatine or today using Jelfix to give it an irresistable shine. Our Strawberry Mousse Charlotte Royale recipe here is a variation of this classical dessert using swiss rolls as the cover so it is like 2 dessert in 1. It is sure to brighten up any dessert spread you may be planning for any occasion.
