Strawberry Mousse Recipe
Strawberry Mousse made easy with fresh berries, cream, and simple steps. A light, fluffy dessert perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
- 2 cups of ripe fresh strawberries, gently hulled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- ¼ cup of fine granulated sugar to bring out the natural sweetness
- 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice for a bright tangy kick
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream well-chilled for that perfect, fluffy texture
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to add a warm aromatic depth
Instructions
- Combine fresh strawberries, sugar, and a splash of lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream, taking care to maintain its light and airy consistency.
- Carefully transfer the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set and flavors to develop.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
To enhance the natural sweetness, gently fold in a touch of powdered sugar into the whipped cream. Just before serving, top your mousse with fresh slices of strawberry or a few mint leaves to add a bright and refreshing touch. For the best results, make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are well-chilled—this helps the cream whip up quickly and keeps it light and fluffy.
