1-Making strawberry mousse at home is simpler than it sounds, and you’ll be amazed at the results with just a few straightforward steps. Start by cleaning and slicing 12½ ounces of strawberries, then puree them with ½ cup granulated sugar in a blender or food processor for a smooth mixture. Set aside half a cup of this puree to use later, as it adds a beautiful layer in the final presentation.

2-Next, whip 1 cup of cold heavy cream in a cold bowl until stiff peaks form this step is key for that light and airy texture. Gently fold the remaining strawberry puree into the whipped cream until everything is just combined. Now, divide the reserved half cup of puree into four glasses, and top each one with the mousse mixture for a lovely layered look.

3-Refrigerate the glasses for about one hour or longer if you prefer a firmer set. Once it’s ready, serve with extra fresh sliced strawberries on top for a pop of color and flavor. This whole process takes about 10 minutes of active prep plus chilling time, and each serving brings nutritional perks like 33 grams of carbohydrates and 52.5 mg of vitamin C.
