Strawberry Mousse Delight Simple and Tasty Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir gently to coat the strawberries and allow them to macerate for about 15 minutes, which will draw out their juices.

2. 2

   After the strawberries have rested, blend them in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove seeds, pressing down with a spatula. You should have about 1 cup of strawberry puree.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes until it becomes spongy.

4. 4

   In a small saucepan over low heat, add the bloomed gelatin to the strawberry puree, stirring until fully dissolved (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest (if using). Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

5. 5

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, remaining sugar, and salt together with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

6. 6

   Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the cream. Mix until well combined and there are no visible streaks.

7. 7

   Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, dividing it evenly.

8. 8

   Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until the mousse is set.
