Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled)
- 0.25 cup low-sodium cane sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon plain unsweetened gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 units fresh strawberries (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the hulled strawberries in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Measure out 1 and 1/2 cups of strawberry puree and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder and cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 3
Transfer the bloomed gelatin to a small saucepan and heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree, sugar, and dissolved gelatin. Stir until well incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the chilled heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture in small batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture too much. Continue folding until completely combined and the mixture is smooth and airy.
Step 7
Spoon the mousse into dessert glasses or ramekins. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon if desired.
Step 8
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh strawberries before serving, if desired.
