    Bonjour Emmanuelle,

    Merci pour cette nouvelle recette qui me tente bien pour l’anniversaire de ma fille fan de fraises !
    Petites questions svp :
    1. Utilisez-vous un colorant en poudre ou liquide ?
    2. Aucun risque que la mousse ne s’échappe sous le cercle quand on la verse vu qu’il n’y a pas de biscuit au fond ? (j’ai déjà été échaudée et c’est tellement vexant de rater un gâteau à cause de ça…)
    Merci d’avance pour votre aide. Emilie

      Bonjour Emilie
      Merci pour votre commentaire ! J’utilise du colorant en poudre mais c’est possible avec du liquide. Et pour la mousse, normalement elle doit être bien ferme, donc pas de risque que ça coule 😉
