Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 3 sheets Gelatin sheets
- 50 ml Cold water
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 pinch Salt
- 150 ml Port wine
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Reserve a handful for garnish, and puree the remaining strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberry puree and half of the granulated sugar (50 grams). Heat the mixture over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes, or until softened. Squeeze out any excess water and stir the softened gelatin into the warm strawberry mixture until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until combined.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the pinch of salt until frothy. Gradually add the remaining granulated sugar (50 grams) and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the egg whites into the strawberry and cream mixture in three additions, maintaining as much airiness as possible.
Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
To make the Port wine sauce, combine the Port wine and unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a smooth slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering Port wine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Before serving, drizzle the Port wine sauce over the chilled strawberry mousse and garnish with the reserved strawberries. Serve immediately and enjoy!
