US Customary

• 2 cups strawberries, fresh and hulled
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups heavy cream, chilled

Metric

• 480ml strawberries, fresh and hulled
• 67g granulated sugar
• 5ml vanilla extract
• 480ml heavy cream, chilled
• Optional: fresh strawberries or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Tip: Before you start, place a large mixing bowl in the freezer to chill. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect whipped cream consistency.

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Begin by pureeing the strawberries in a blender or food processor until they are smooth. For a refined texture, strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl. This process removes seeds and ensures a silky, creamy mousse.

Step 2: Sweeten the Puree

Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the strawberry puree. Whisk the mixture until the sugar has fully dissolved, infusing the strawberries with a sweet vanilla aroma.

Step 3: Whip the Cream

Retrieve the chilled mixing bowl from the freezer. Pour in the heavy cream and whip it using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. The cream should hold its shape but still have a smooth, velvety texture.

Step 4: Combine and Chill

Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream, ensuring that the mixture is fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream as you fold. Once combined, spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set properly.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves for an elegant touch. Enjoy the delightful contrast of flavors and textures with each spoonful.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Mousse

1. Use Fresh Strawberries: Opt for ripe, juicy strawberries for the best flavor. If fresh strawberries are out of season, high-quality frozen strawberries can be a good substitute.

2. Chill Equipment: Ensuring that your mixing bowl and beaters are cold will help the cream whip more efficiently and hold its peaks longer.

3. Gentle Folding: When combining the strawberry puree with the whipped cream, use a gentle folding motion to maintain the mousse’s light and airy texture.

4. Chill Time: Don’t rush the chilling process. Allowing the mousse to set for at least 2 hours ensures the flavors meld together beautifully and the texture firms up just right.
