Description

This luscious strawberry mousse is a delightful and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Made with fresh strawberries and fluffy whipped cream, it’s a light and fruity treat that will impress your guests.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the strawberry puree:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar

For the mousse:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberry puree: In a blender, puree the strawberries and sugar until smooth. Strain the mixture to remove any seeds, then set aside.
  2. Make the mousse: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the strawberry puree until well combined.
  3. Chill: Divide the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  4. Serve: Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint leaves before serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness of the mousse by adding more or less powdered sugar, depending on your preference.
  • For a lighter version, you can use whipped coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
