How to make Strawberry Mousse
Preparation
- Rinse, hull and chop 250 grams (or about 9 ounces) fresh strawberries. Add them to a blender along with sugar. I added about 4 tablespoons sugar. But the amount of sugar to be added depends how tart the strawberries are. So, adjust accordingly. Note that the mousse can also be made with frozen strawberries. Thaw them for 15 to 20 minutes or until they soften slightly. Later blend with the sugar. 2. Blend to a smooth and fine puree. Make sure that there are no strawberry chunks left. 3. Pour 1 tablespoon of the strawberry puree in shot glasses or bowls. I added the puree in 4 glasses.

4. Add 200 ml chilled cream to the puree in the blender. Here, I used 25% fat cream. You can use 25% to 35% or even 36% to 50% fat cream – which is basically whipping cream or heavy cream. 5. Pulse 5 to 7 times till the cream is well blended with the strawberry puree. After you pulse once or twice, do check the taste and add more sugar if needed. Then, continue to pulse. 6. Spoon the mousse in the shot glasses or bowls. 7. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours or till well set. 8. Garnish the set Strawberry Mousse with strawberry slices and serve chilled.
