This Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse is a light and delightful dessert perfect for any occasion. Made with fresh strawberries, sugar, and rich heavy cream, it comes together quickly and requires minimal ingredients. The mousse is smooth, creamy, and bursting with natural strawberry flavor, making it a refreshing treat to enjoy after a meal or as a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Strawberry Mousse:

  • 12½ ounces fresh strawberries (3/4 pound)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream (whole, whipping, or heavy cream with at least 30% fat content)

For Topping:

  • Extra fresh strawberries, sliced or whole, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries. Reserve a few extra strawberries for topping later. Cut the remaining strawberries into chunks for easier blending.
  2. Blend Strawberries and Sugar: Place the chopped strawberries and granulated sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until you get a smooth strawberry puree.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, whip the cold heavy cream until medium to stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  4. Fold the Mixture: Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to carefully combine them until the mixture is smooth and uniform without deflating the cream.
  5. Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse evenly into serving dishes or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Before serving, garnish with the reserved fresh strawberries for a beautiful presentation and added freshness. Enjoy your light and creamy strawberry mousse!

Notes

  • Use cold cream for best whipping results.
  • You can adjust the sugar amount depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.
  • For a thicker mousse, try folding in a little mascarpone or cream cheese.
  • This dessert is best eaten within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
  • To make it vegan, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a vegan sweetener.
