Strawberry Mousse
Strawberry Mousse is a beautiful and delicious dessert filled with fresh strawberry flavor with a creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup greek yogurt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Hull the strawberries and place them in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Add the honey and vanilla extract to the strawberry purée and blend again until fully combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the Greek yogurt gently, then pour in the strawberry mixture and fold again until everything is evenly combined.
- Spoon the mousse into small dessert cups or jars and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until chilled and lightly set.
- Serve topped with fresh strawberries or an extra swirl of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use chilled ingredients: Cold cream and yogurt whip up faster and hold their texture better.
- Don’t over blend the strawberries: Blend just until smooth to preserve color and prevent excess air bubbles.
- Whip to stiff peaks: The whipped cream should hold firm peaks, this helps the mousse stay light but stable.
- Fold gently: Use a spatula to fold the yogurt and strawberry mixture into the whipped cream to keep it airy.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the mixture before chilling and add more honey if your strawberries aren’t very sweet.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours before serving so the mousse thickens and the flavors blend.
- Presentation tip: Serve in small glass cups or jars topped with sliced strawberries, mint leaves, or shaved chocolate.
- Make ahead: The mousse can be made a day in advance, just keep it refrigerated and covered until ready to serve.
