Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse
This Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse uses just 3 ingredients for a fluffy, creamy no bake dessert with fresh strawberry flavor.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12.5 oz fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cold heavy cream at least 30 percent fat
- 4 fresh strawberries sliced, for topping
Instructions
- Rinse, dry, hull, and slice the strawberries, then place them in a blender or food processor with the granulated sugar. Blend until completely smooth.
- Measure out 0.5 cup of the strawberry puree and set it aside in a small bowl for layering. Leave the remaining puree in a separate bowl.
- Add the cold heavy cream to a chilled mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree (except the reserved 0.5 cup) into the whipped cream in 2 to 3 additions, using a spatula and taking care not to deflate the cream, until fully combined and smooth.
- Divide the reserved 0.5 cup of strawberry puree evenly among 4 small or medium serving glasses, about 2 tablespoons per glass.
- Spoon or pipe the strawberry mousse on top of the puree in each glass, filling nearly to the top. Smooth or swirl the surface as desired.
- Refrigerate the mousses for at least 1 hour or up to overnight until well chilled and slightly firm.
- Just before serving, top each mousse with sliced fresh strawberries and serve cold.
Notes
- Use fully ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor and natural color in the mousse.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters for 10 to 15 minutes before whipping the cream to help it whip faster and hold stiff peaks.
