Ingredients
– 12Β½ ounces (3/4 pound) strawberries
– Β½ cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup cold cream (whole, heavy, or whipping cream with at least 30% fat content)
– Extra strawberries for topping
Instructions
1-Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries Wash and slice the strawberries carefully, then puree them with the sugar in a blender or food processor. This creates a smooth base that captures the fruitβs natural sweetness.
2-Step 2: Set Aside Part of the Mixture Once blended, set aside half a cup of the puree for later use. This portion adds a nice layer in the final presentation, making each serving feel special.
3-Step 3: Whip the Cream In a chilled bowl, beat the cold cream until it forms stiff peaks, which gives the mousse its light and airy texture. For the best results, use cream with at least 30% fat content, as mentioned in the tips section.
4-Step 4: Combine and Layer Gently fold the remaining strawberry puree into the whipped cream until everything is well mixed. Divide the reserved puree into 4 glasses, then top each with the mousse mixture, creating a beautiful layered effect.
5-Step 5: Chill and Serve Pop the glasses in the fridge for about one hour or longer if you want it firmer. Serve with fresh sliced strawberries on top for a finishing touch. The total time is roughly 1 hour and 10 minutes, including chilling.
