Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 2 cups Fresh Strawberries Use fresh strawberries for vibrant flavor; frozen can work but don't thaw them to avoid excess moisture.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Adjust the sweetness to your taste; try sweeteners like honey or monk fruit for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Make sure it’s cold for the best volume; non-dairy whipping cream can be a great substitute if needed.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Mixing Bowl
  • electric mixer
  • measuring cups
  • Spatula
  • Serving Glasses

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thoroughly washing 2 cups of fresh strawberries under cool water. Remove the green tops and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree, about 30 seconds.
  3. In a chilled mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of cold heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the reserved strawberry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  5. Take the half cup of reserved strawberry puree and evenly divide it into your serving glasses. Spoon the light and fluffy Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse mixture on top.
  6. Cover the filled glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
