⏱ Prep & Chill Time

  • Prep time: 15 minutes

  • Chill time: 1–2 hours

  • Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

  • Yield: 4–6 servings

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste depending on berry sweetness)

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Optional garnish: fresh strawberries, mint leaves, chocolate shavings, or crushed cookies

🥄 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries.

  2. Place them in a blender or food processor along with sugar and lemon juice.

  3. Blend until smooth to create a fresh strawberry puree.

Tip: For extra texture, reserve a few chopped strawberries to fold into the mousse at the end.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

  1. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

  2. Whip until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; the cream should be fluffy but still smooth.

Step 3: Combine Strawberry Puree and Whipped Cream

  1. Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream in batches.

  2. Use a spatula and fold carefully to keep the mousse light and airy.

  3. If desired, fold in the reserved chopped strawberries for extra bursts of flavor and texture.

Step 4: Chill the Mousse

  • Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses, bowls, or a large serving dish.

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set and chilled.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

  • Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberry slices, mint leaves, chocolate shavings, or crushed cookies.

  • Serve chilled for the best light, creamy texture.
