Description
This Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse is made with only 3 ingredients, no gelatin and no bake. The perfect creamy fluffy mousse dessert. A delicious dessert to serve at any occasion.
Ingredients
- 12½ ounces strawberries (3/4 pound)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cream (whole, heavy, or whipping cream with at least 30% fat content), cold
- extra strawberries for topping
Instructions
1. Clean and slice the strawberries. In a blender or food processor, add the sliced strawberries and the sugar and puree. Remove ½ a cup of puree and set aside.
2. In a cold bowl, add the cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Then fold in the remaining puree (not the ½ cup) gently.
3. Divide the ½ cup of puree between the 4 small/medium glasses and top with the strawberry mousse.
4. Refrigerate for approximately 1 hour or even overnight if desired.
5. Top with fresh sliced strawberries and serve. Enjoy.
Notes
For anyone wanting to use this as a filling (e.g., pie or cake), whip the cream until thickened and stir in the puree. Then in a small pot, add 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gelatin on top. Let stand one minute, then place the pot on low heat and heat just until the gelatin has dissolved, stirring often (1–2 minutes). Do not boil. Immediately remove from heat. Add 1–2 tablespoons of the whipped cream mixture to the gelatin mixture and stir gently to combine. Fold the gelatin into the remaining whipped cream mixture.
