Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Mousse
- 12½ ounces strawberries (about 3/4 pound), cleaned and sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold, at least 30% fat content)
Topping
- Extra fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry puree: Clean and slice the strawberries thoroughly. Place the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Remove ½ cup of the puree and set it aside for layering later.
- Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, pour the cold heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the cream until stiff peaks form, indicating it is fully whipped and thickened.
- Combine puree and whipped cream: Gently fold the remaining strawberry puree (not the reserved ½ cup) into the whipped cream gradually. This keeps the mousse light and airy without deflating the cream.
- Assemble the mousse cups: Divide the reserved ½ cup strawberry puree evenly among 4 small to medium glasses (each holding about 1 cup). Spoon or pipe the strawberry mousse mixture on top of the puree layer in the glasses.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled mousse cups for at least 1 hour or overnight to set and chill. Before serving, garnish the top with fresh sliced strawberries for an attractive presentation and added freshness. Enjoy your refreshing strawberry mousse!
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream for better whipping results.
- You can adjust the sugar quantity depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.
- The glasses used are approximately 1 cup in volume; adjust quantities if using differently sized containers.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, macerate the strawberries with sugar beforehand.
- This recipe is a quick and easy no-bake dessert, ideal for warm weather occasions.
