Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Puree
- 12½ ounces strawberries (3/4 pound), cleaned and sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream (cold, with at least 30% fat content)
Topping
- Extra fresh strawberries, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Puree: Clean and slice the strawberries thoroughly. In a blender or food processor, add the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar, then puree until smooth. Remove ½ cup of this puree and set it aside for layering and garnish.
- Whip the Cream: In a cold bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted.
- Fold Puree into Cream: Gently fold the remaining strawberry puree (all except the reserved ½ cup) into the whipped cream, combining carefully to maintain the light, airy texture without deflating the cream.
- Assemble the Mousse: Divide the reserved ½ cup of strawberry puree evenly between four small to medium-sized glasses (each glass approximately 1 cup capacity). Spoon or pipe the strawberry mousse on top of the puree layer.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled mousse for about 1 hour or overnight if you prefer a firmer mousse. Before serving, top each glass with fresh sliced strawberries for garnish and enjoy this refreshing dessert.
Notes
- Using cold heavy cream is key to achieving stiff peaks quickly and maintaining mousse texture.
- The reserved strawberry puree serves as a flavorful base layer, adding an extra burst of strawberry taste.
- The dessert can be made ahead of time and chilled overnight for convenience.
- Glass size used is approximately 1 cup capacity to control serving size.
- For a sweeter mousse, adjust sugar quantity according to the sweetness of strawberries.
