delicious strawberry mousse recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Place the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Cook the Strawberry Mixture:
- Pour the strawberry puree into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Once it starts simmering, cook for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Bloom the Gelatin:
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for a few minutes to bloom (absorb the water).
- Combine Gelatin with Strawberry Mixture:
- Once the gelatin has bloomed, add it to the warm strawberry mixture and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Cool the Mixture:
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing the saucepan in a bowl of ice water and stirring occasionally.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the Strawberry Mixture:
- Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Serve:

Enjoy your homemade strawberry mousse!
