    What is strawberry mousse?

    Strawberry mousse is a dessert that is often enjoyed on special occasions. This dessert is prepared by combining whipped cream, strawberries, and sugar in a bowl and then beating the mixture until it becomes stiff. The mousse can then be served in glasses or bowls and decorated with strawberry slices or pieces.

    You can vary the recipe to make it your own, and you can also add different flavours to it. Some people prefer to add mint or chocolate to their strawberry mousse, and others prefer to add other types of fruits like Eggless Banana Mousse

    This no-bake dessert is a very easy dessert to make, and it is also very versatile. if you like this recipe then you love my No Bake Mini Cheesecake, Mango Mojito, Mango Mousse and Strawberry Flan

    Ingredients

    Here's a list of ingredients you'll need

    Fresh Strawberries - I have used fresh strawberries here, but you can use frozen ones also

    Double cream- Keep the cream in the fridge until you start whipping

    Sweetener - Used regular granulated sugar, but you can swap it with honey

    Flavouring agent - Vanilla extract (optional)

    For the details of the exact quantities of each ingredient, check the recipe card below

    Instructions

    How to make strawberry mousse - step by step

    With the help of a fork or masher, mash them well and divide the puree into two equal parts and keep them aside.

    Add the chilled cream and whip to stiff peaks with the help of an electric hand blender

    Divide the puree between the glass cups approx. 2tablespoon and top it with strawberry mousse and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

    Substitutions

    • In place of sugar, you can add honey or maple syrup
    • Use frozen strawberries if you don’t have fresh strawberries when you needed

    Frequently asked questions

    Is double cream the same as heavy whipping cream?

    Yes, both are the same. In the UK it is referred to as double cream and heavy whipping cream in the USA

    Does the mousse thicken in the fridge?

    Yes, the mousse will firm in the fridge if we leave it for 1 or 2 hours

    Why the double cream is not thickening after whipping?

    If your heavy cream/double cream is not chilled before whipping then, it is difficult to get the cream to stiff peaks. So don’t use room temperature cream.

    Can we freeze the mousse?

    Yes, cover the individual cups/jars properly and keep them in the freezer for 1-2 months. When you are ready to use. Transfer them to the fridge and let them thaw in the fridge before serving.

    Storage

    • You can keep the leftover mousse, covered with cling film in the fridge for 1-2 days

    Top tip

    • If your strawberries are juicy and sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar and use as needed.
    • Use chilled cream from the refrigerator
    • Always, try to use a chilled bowl to whip the cream as it may the process easier.
