Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled Frozen strawberries can be substituted if thawed and drained.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can be replaced with whipped topping or coconut cream for a lighter version.
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the hulled strawberries in a food processor until smooth to create a luscious puree.
  2. In a separate bowl, pour the heavy cream and add the powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whisk until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula to maintain a light, airy texture.
  4. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  5. Once chilled, enjoy your mousse as is or with extra strawberry slices on top.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed fresh. Mousse does not freeze well due to texture changes.
