Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Puree
- 12½ ounces fresh strawberries (approximately 3/4 pound, cleaned and sliced)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Mousse
- 1 cup cold heavy cream (whipping cream with at least 30% fat content)
- Extra fresh strawberries for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Clean and slice the strawberries. In a blender or food processor, add the sliced strawberries and sugar, and puree until smooth. Remove ½ cup of the puree and set it aside for layering later.
- Whip the Cream: In a cold bowl, beat the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This ensures a light and airy mousse texture.
- Combine the Mousse: Gently fold the remaining strawberry puree (not the reserved ½ cup) into the whipped cream until well incorporated, being careful not to deflate the cream.
- Assemble the Mousse: Divide the reserved ½ cup of strawberry puree evenly among four small to medium glasses (the ones used hold about 1 cup of water each). Spoon the strawberry mousse over the puree layer in each glass.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled mousse for at least 1 hour to set, or overnight for best flavor and texture. Before serving, top with fresh sliced strawberries for a beautiful and delicious garnish. Enjoy your fresh strawberry mousse!
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results.
- Ensure the bowl and beaters are chilled to help the cream whip faster.
- This mousse can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
- For a sweeter mousse, adjust sugar quantity to taste.
- Using fresh, ripe strawberries enhances the flavor significantly.
