This creamy, airy dessert is bursting with fresh strawberry flavor! It’s made with simple ingredients and is perfect for a light treat on a warm day or as an elegant dessert for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (or frozen, thawed)
  • â…“ cup (70g) granulated sugar (or a sugar substitute for a low-carb version)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
  • Extra strawberries, mint leaves, or whipped cream for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the strawberry puree

    • In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional, for a smoother texture).

  2. Whip the cream

    • In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).

  3. Combine the puree and whipped cream

    • Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the cream too much to keep the mousse light and airy.

  4. Chill

    • Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

  5. Serve

    • Garnish with fresh strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream, or mint leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t in season—just thaw before blending.
  • For extra texture, fold in small pieces of diced strawberries before chilling.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days (but best enjoyed fresh).
