This Strawberry Mousse is a light and airy dessert that combines fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and gelatin to create a creamy, irresistible treat. Perfect for warm days or any occasion where you need a refreshing, fruity finish to your meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberry Puree

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Gelatin Mixture

  • 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons cold water

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Puree Strawberries: Place the hulled and sliced strawberries into a blender and puree until smooth to create a fresh strawberry base.
  2. Sweeten the Puree: In a bowl, combine the strawberry puree with granulated sugar, stirring well until the sugar is fully incorporated.
  3. Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  4. Dissolve Gelatin: Gently heat the gelatin mixture until fully dissolved but not boiling, then mix this dissolved gelatin into the sweetened strawberry puree to add structure.
  5. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream together with vanilla extract until soft peaks form, providing a light and fluffy texture.
  6. Fold Cream into Strawberry Mixture: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the strawberry and gelatin mixture, ensuring a smooth and airy mousse without deflating the whipped cream.
  7. Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and develop the perfect creamy consistency before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Ensure gelatin is completely dissolved to avoid lumps in the mousse.
  • Gently folding the whipped cream keeps the mousse light and airy.
  • Chilling time is essential for setting; do not skip this step.
  • This mousse can be garnished with fresh strawberries or a mint leaf for added presentation.
