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
