Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound strawberries fresh, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Serving glasses or bowls

Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine the strawberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom. Then, heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for about 15 seconds or until it's completely dissolved. Stir the gelatin into the strawberry puree until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
  4. Divide the mousse among 6 serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  5. Before serving, garnish with additional sliced strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your delightful Strawberry Mousse!

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a more intense strawberry flavor, use ripe, in-season strawberries.
• Avoid over-whipping the cream to prevent a grainy texture.
• Serve with a crisp cookie or shortbread for added texture.
Food Safety:
• Keep refrigerated until ready to serve to prevent spoilage.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
