Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into smaller pieces.
Place the strawberries in a blender along with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to create a puree.
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.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
Once the gelatin has bloomed, add it to the warm strawberry puree and stir until completely dissolved.
Remove the strawberry puree from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled strawberry puree into the whipped cream, making sure it is fully incorporated but taking care not to deflate the mixture.
Spoon the strawberry mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve the strawberry mousse chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves for decoration.
