Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) ripe strawberries
- 1 cup cold whipping cream
Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
Garnish:
- Extra strawberries for topping
Instructions
- Pulse fresh strawberries with granulated sugar in a food processor until achieving a silky, uniform puree, setting aside half a cup for later presentation.
- In a separate chilled mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until it forms distinct, sturdy peaks that hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
- Carefully incorporate the remaining strawberry puree into the whipped cream, using gentle folding motions to maintain the cream’s delicate airiness and prevent deflation.
- Create an elegant base layer by distributing the reserved strawberry puree evenly across serving glasses, creating a vibrant foundation.
- Delicately transfer the strawberry-infused cream mixture into the prepared glasses, ensuring a smooth and attractive layered appearance.
- Refrigerate the mousse for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing the dessert to set and flavors to meld together at a cool 40°F.
- Just before serving, adorn each mousse with thinly sliced fresh strawberries, adding a decorative and fresh final touch to the dessert.
Notes
- Puree Precision: Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the most vibrant flavor and smooth texture.
- Whipping Wisdom: Ensure cream is cold and use a chilled bowl to achieve maximum volume when whipping.
- Folding Finesse: Incorporate puree gently to maintain the airy, light consistency of the mousse.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap dairy cream with coconut cream for a vegan version, or use sugar substitute for a low-sugar option.
