Place the pistachio cake on the base.
Next, pour the strawberry jelly up to 1 cm in height. Allow to gel in the freezer and place another disc of pistachio sponge cake on top of the gelatin.
Once the inside is frozen, make the mousse and fill only half of the silicone mold, spreading and fixing the mousse all over the walls of the mold.
Place the inside and in the center of the mold fill the remaining part with the rest of the mousse.
Once frozen, glaze with neutral glaze (Absolut Cristal).
Place on a shortcrust pastry base and decorate with a few fresh strawberry and pistachio segments on top of the chocolate decoration.
