Strawberry Mousse Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Puree Strawberries: In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth to create a fresh strawberry base for the mousse.
- Whip Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream together with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Fold Together: Gently fold the strawberry puree and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until fully combined, maintaining the mousse’s fluffy consistency.
- Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and develop a refreshing chilled texture.
Notes
- Use very fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream to help achieve stiff peaks faster.
- For a sweeter mousse, adjust powdered sugar according to taste.
- Serve chilled and consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
