Three ingredients whipped into something extraordinary. The magic is in the texture — a pillowy, mousse-like strawberry nougat that melts the moment it hits your tongue, all wrapped in a glossy chocolate shell.
Whipped cream + strawberry + chocolate. That’s it. No candy thermometer, no special equipment, no mystery ingredients. Just pure, cloud-soft bliss.
Just 3 Ingredients
Heavy Cream
Whipped to stiff peaks, this is the cloud. It creates that impossibly light, pillowy nougat texture.
Strawberry Powder
Intensely fruity, naturally pink, and no added liquid. Freeze-dried is the secret to bold flavour without collapsing the whip.
Milk Chocolate
Smooth, sweet, and the perfect coat. Melted and poured over the frozen nougat for that classic 3 Musketeers shell.
Step by Step
- 1
Whip the Cream
Pour cold heavy cream into a chilled bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form — the cream should hold its shape firmly when the whisk is lifted.
- 2
Fold in Strawberry Powder
Gently fold in the freeze-dried strawberry powder until fully incorporated and the mixture is an even, beautiful pink. Do not overmix — you want to keep all that air.
- 3
Shape & Freeze
Spoon into a parchment-lined loaf tin, smooth the top, and freeze until completely solid.
⏰ 4 hours or overnight - 4
Slice into Bars
Remove from the tin and slice into bar shapes with a sharp knife. Work quickly — return to the freezer between cuts if needed.
- 5
Melt the Chocolate
Melt milk chocolate in 30-second microwave bursts, stirring until silky smooth. Cool for 2 minutes so it doesn’t melt the bars on contact.
- 6
Coat & Set
Pour or spoon chocolate over each frozen bar on a wire rack, coating all sides. Return to the freezer until the shell is fully set.

Tips for the Perfect Bar
Keep Everything Cold
Chill your bowl and beaters before whipping. Cold = more volume = fluffier nougat.
Freeze-Dried Only
Fresh or frozen strawberries add moisture that will collapse your whipped cream. Freeze-dried powder only.
Cool the Chocolate
Too-hot chocolate melts the frozen bar on contact. Let it cool to just above room temp before coating.
Work Fast
The bars warm up quickly. Slice, dip, and return to the freezer in batches to keep clean edges.
