Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons Powdered erythritol or any low-carb sweetener
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Blend the strawberries into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor. This should yield about 1 cup of puree.
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the strawberry puree and powdered erythritol until it is heated through and the sweetener is fully dissolved. Do not bring it to a boil.
Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm strawberry mixture until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
Divide the mousse into four serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled and garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
