Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Extra whipped cream and strawberry slices for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the strawberries: Blend or mash strawberries until smooth. Stir in sugar and lemon juice.
Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Fold together: Gently fold whipped cream into the strawberry purée until fully combined, keeping it light and airy.
Chill: Spoon mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Serve: Garnish with whipped cream and fresh strawberries before serving.
Notes
Use ripe or slightly overripe strawberries for extra sweetness and flavor.
Chill your mixing bowl before whipping cream for better volume.
Fold gently to maintain the airy texture—avoid stirring vigorously.
Make ahead: The mousse can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
