A charlotte (SHAR-luht) is a classic French molded dessert.

It can be prepare with all kind of fruits or even with chocolate mousse.

I"ll teach you how to prepare the Lady fingers, the fruit mousse/or chocolate mousse and how to place all together.

Not only that, each recipe can be used separately, Lady finger for your kids, a tea time with friends,  fruit mousse or chocolate mousse as a light dessert.

Gaetan, my French teacher, told me all his secrets, this is another one.

-Why Charlotte? beginning of the answer, perhaps!

Some say,  this dessert was created for Queen Charlotte of England. Those in the Russian camp, however, say it was named after a sister-in-law of Alexander I, who just happened to be named Charlotte. The debate rages on.
