Ingredients
Strawberry Puree
- 12½ ounces strawberries (about 3/4 pound), cleaned and sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold, with at least 30% fat content)
Topping
- Extra fresh strawberries, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Clean and slice the strawberries, then place them into a blender or food processor with the granulated sugar. Puree until smooth. Remove ½ cup of this puree and set aside for layering the dessert later.
- Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat to avoid turning it into butter.
- Combine Puree and Cream: Gently fold the remaining strawberry puree into the whipped cream, mixing carefully to preserve the airy texture of the mousse.
- Assemble the Mousse: Divide the reserved ½ cup strawberry puree evenly among 4 small or medium glasses (each glass holds about 1 cup of water for size reference). Spoon or pipe the strawberry mousse on top of the puree layer in each glass.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled mousse for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor and texture. Just before serving, garnish each mousse with fresh sliced strawberries. Enjoy this light and refreshing dessert!
Notes
- Use the freshest and sweetest strawberries available for the best flavor.
- Keep the cream and bowl cold to ensure proper whipping.
- You can substitute granulated sugar with a sweetener of choice if desired.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, let the mousse chill overnight.
- These mousse glasses hold about 1 cup each; adjust quantities if using different-sized vessels.
