4.7 from 500 reviews

A light and airy Fresh Strawberry Mousse made without eggs, combining pureed strawberries with whipped cream for a creamy, naturally sweet dessert that’s easy to prepare and perfect for warm weather or a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberry Puree

  • 300 g chopped strawberries
  • 67 g granulated sugar

Mousse

  • 237 ml heavy whipping cream (cold)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberry Puree: Wash, dry, hull, and roughly chop the strawberries if necessary. Add the strawberries and granulated sugar to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  2. Whip Cream: Using an electric mixer, beat the cold heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until medium peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
  3. Combine Puree and Cream: Remove 1/2 cup of strawberry puree from the blender and set aside for layering. Pour the remaining strawberry puree into the whipped cream and gently fold it together with a rubber spatula to maintain the airy mousse texture.
  4. Assemble Mousse Cups: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the reserved strawberry puree into the bottom of 3 to 4 small serving cups. Layer the strawberry mousse on top evenly.
  5. Set and Chill: Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh fruit, additional whipped cream, or chocolate shavings as desired before serving for an elegant presentation and added flavor.

Notes

  • Use cold heavy whipping cream to achieve the best whipping results.
  • For a sweeter mousse, adjust the sugar quantity to taste.
  • The mousse can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • If fresh strawberries are out of season, frozen strawberries can be used but should be thawed and drained before blending.
  • This mousse is egg-free, making it suitable for those with egg allergies.
