Strawberry Pistachio Mousse Cake

A thick layer of creamy pink farm fresh strawberry mousse loaded with lots of fresh strawberries sits atop an equally thick layer of green pistachio mousse rich with whole fresh pistachio nuts throughout. The combination of fresh strawberries and fresh pistachio nuts make it refreshingly different and irresistible. The base is a layer of fudgy moist flourless chocolate cake, and it’s topped with a heavenly rich and velvety poured chocolate ganache!

Since first opening its doors in the heart of Georgetown in 1983, Filomena Ristorante has become one of Washington, DC’s most beloved and iconic Italian restaurants. It was founded by JoAnna Filomena as a love letter to her Abruzzo-born mother, who would host large dinners for friends and family in which she’d serve a wide array of classic & simple Italian dishes and desserts, made with love. A warm and welcoming atmosphere – along with the famous “pasta mamas” who make fresh pasta daily by the front door – still greets customers all these years later, and JoAnna’s classic recipes haven’t changed since day one.
