Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 100 grams Crushed graham crackers
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Set aside 100 grams of strawberries for layering and garnish, and puree the remaining 300 grams in a blender until smooth.
In a small saucepan, combine the strawberry puree and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10 seconds to dissolve completely, then stir it into the cooled strawberry puree until fully combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream in two additions, being careful not to deflate the cream. This forms your strawberry mousse.
To assemble the parfait, start by adding a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom of each serving glass or jar. Follow with a layer of strawberry mousse.
Slice the reserved 100 grams of strawberries and layer them on top of the mousse. Repeat the layers as desired, ending with a mousse layer on top.
Refrigerate the assembled parfaits for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of strawberry, if desired. Serve chilled.
