Strawberry Puree
- 300 g chopped strawberries
- 67 g granulated sugar
Mousse
- 237 ml heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
