Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams fresh strawberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- optional fresh mint leaves or strawberry slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them in half.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
In a blender, add the strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and no lumps remain.
Warm the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for about 10 seconds or until fully dissolved (do not boil). Let it cool slightly, then pour it into the strawberry mixture in the blender.
Pour the heavy cream into the blender and blend on high speed until fully combined. The mixture will become light and airy as the cream incorporates.
Pour the mixture into serving glasses or bowls. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the blender to ensure nothing is wasted.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set and firm.
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves, sliced strawberries, or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
