Strawberry Mousse Recipe
Strawberry Mousse is a light and creamy dessert made with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. It tastes sweet, smooth, and has a gentle fruity tang that feels very refreshing after a meal. This mousse is really simple to make and doesn’t need any complicated steps. You just whip the cream, blend the strawberries with sugar, mix and let it chill - strawberry mousse is done.
Servings2 cups
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh cream
- 6 whole strawberries
- 2 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Now take fresh cream in a bowl and start whipping with hand mixer.
- Whip till soft peaks form. This is the right stage, don’t whip it more, then it will end up in butter.
- Rinse strawberries well, trim off the leaf part. Then chop strawberries roughly and add it to blender along with 1 tablespoon sugar and blend it to a puree. Now reserve little puree and add the rest to the whipped cream.
- Whisk it well until the strawberry puree is well blended.
- Add 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and whisk it well.
- Now in the serving glass add a tablespoon of reserved strawberry puree.
- Then add the mousse till the rim of the glass.
- Garnish with chopped strawberry and refrigerate it at least for an hour.
- Serve Strawberry Mousse chilled.
Notes
- Keep the cream chilled – Cold cream whips up faster and gives soft peaks easily. I always pop it in the fridge for a bit before starting.
- Stop at soft peaks – Once you see soft peaks, that’s enough. If you keep going, it might split or turn into butter, so better to stop early.
- Taste and adjust – Strawberries can be sweet or slightly tangy, so I usually taste the puree and then decide how much sugar to add.
- Let it chill well – Don’t rush this step. Let the mousse sit in the fridge for at least an hour — it firms up and tastes way better that way.
- Add a simple topping – A few chopped berries or a tiny mint leaf on top make it look fresh and colourful.
- Use an electric beater – Whipping by hand takes a lot of time and effort, so go for a hand mixer if you have one.
