Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 1 pound Fresh Strawberries Use ripe but firm strawberries for the best flavor and texture in your mousse.
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar If using very sweet strawberries, reduce the amount for a balanced taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice A hint of lemon brightens the mousse; increase for tangier flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Add just before combining to enhance aroma and flavor.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (cold) Ensure it’s well-chilled for optimal whipping; coconut cream works as a dairy-free substitute.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Fresh Strawberry Mousse
  1. Wash 1 pound of fresh strawberries under cool water, hull and cut them in half. Blend with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar until smooth.
  2. Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour 1 cup of cold heavy cream into the chilled bowl and whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the prepared strawberry purée into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula.
  5. Spoon the mousse mixture into serving glasses, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
