Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
- 4 oz yogurt or additional cream cheese or coconut cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar or sugar free alternative
- 5 medium size strawberries
- Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Prepare Dairy or Coconut Base: If using cream cheese, allow it to reach room temperature for easier blending. If choosing coconut cream, ensure the can contains a thick and creamy texture, as flaky or hard coconut cream will not yield the best mousse consistency.
- Puree Strawberries: Remove the stems from the strawberries, then blend or mash them until smooth to create a fresh strawberry puree base for the mousse.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the room temperature cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt (or additional cream cheese/coconut cream), powdered sugar (or sugar-free alternative), and optional vanilla bean paste to the strawberry puree.
- Blend Until Smooth: Using a food processor, blender, or hand mixer, blend all ingredients together until completely smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining.
- Chill the Mousse: Transfer the blended mousse to serving dishes and refrigerate for at least a few hours. The mousse will thicken considerably as it chills, achieving the desired light and airy texture.
Notes
- Ensure coconut cream is thick and creamy for best results; flaky cans should be avoided.
- Room temperature cream cheese blends more smoothly, preventing lumps.
- Sugar alternatives can be used to reduce sugar content while maintaining sweetness.
- Chilling time is crucial for the mousse to set properly, though the recipe does not specify exact refrigeration duration; 2-3 hours is recommended.
- Vanilla bean paste is optional but enhances the flavor depth.
