Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries fresh - hulled
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream chilled

Optional: fresh strawberries or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

*Several hours before working, place a large mixing bowl in the freezer to chill.

  • Puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve, into a mixing bowl. This helps to remove the seeds and creates a creamier mousse.
  • Whisk in the sugar and vanilla into the puree until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Remove the frozen bowl and whip the chilled heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
  • Fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream until fully combined.
  • Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  • Garnish with additional whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or mint leaves to serve.
