Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Puree
- 12½ ounces fresh strawberries (about 3/4 pound), cleaned and sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Cream Mixture
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream (at least 30% fat content)
Topping
- Extra fresh strawberries, sliced, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Puree: Clean and slice the fresh strawberries. In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced strawberries with the sugar and puree until smooth. Remove ½ cup of the puree and set it aside for layering later.
- Whip the Cream: Using a cold bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
- Combine Puree and Cream: Gently fold the remaining strawberry puree (not the ½ cup set aside) into the whipped cream, mixing carefully to preserve the airy texture of the mousse.
- Assemble the Mousse: Divide the reserved ½ cup of strawberry puree evenly among four small to medium glasses (approximately 1 cup size each) as the base layer. Top each with the strawberry mousse mixture.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled mousse for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results. Before serving, garnish with fresh sliced strawberries. Enjoy this fresh and creamy strawberry mousse!
Notes
- You can prepare the mousse a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors.
- Ensure the whipping cream is very cold for best whipping results.
- The glasses used hold approximately 1 cup of water, which helps in portion sizing.
- For a sweeter mousse, adjust the sugar quantity according to taste.
