Blueberry Mousse Cake 蓝莓慕斯蛋糕

Today I’m making Blueberry Mousse cake and strawberry yogurt mousse cake!  Yes, I made two cakes in a row. There is a box of leftover whipping cream and I want to use it before it goes bad. Therefore, the best way to use up all the whipped cream is to make a mousse cake. 

This Blueberry mousse cake is a non-baked cake. Furthermore,  it's very easy to make.  

This cool dessert is great to serve in the afternoon, with a cup of tea or coffee, well, you can imagine, the softness of the mousse, with a layer of jelly, so refreshing, what a good day!
