Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 packet unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into smaller pieces.

Step 2

Place the strawberries in a blender along with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to create a puree.

Step 3

Pour the strawberry puree into a small saucepan and heat gently over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to steam. Do not let it boil.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 5

Once the gelatin has bloomed, add it to the warm strawberry puree and stir until completely dissolved.

Step 6

Remove the strawberry puree from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Gently fold the cooled strawberry puree into the whipped cream, making sure it is fully incorporated but taking care not to deflate the mixture.

Step 9

Spoon the strawberry mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses.

Step 10

Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Step 11

Serve the strawberry mousse chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves for decoration.
