Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, pour 1 cup of heavy cream and add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream and sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Set the whipped cream aside in the refrigerator to keep it cool.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water and allow the gelatin to bloom for about 5 minutes.
- Once bloomed, heat the mixture over low heat until the gelatin dissolves completely, then set it aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a blender or food processor, puree 1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries until smooth, then add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and mix until combined.
- Gently fold the cooled gelatin mixture into the strawberry puree.
- Carefully fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream without deflating it.
- Spoon the mousse mixture into individual serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
- Prepare the strawberry sauce by combining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries in a small saucepan and heating over medium heat until sugar dissolves and strawberries soften.
- Let the strawberry sauce cool to room temperature.
- Drizzle the strawberry sauce over the set mousse and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid any clumps in the mousse.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
