Creamy, light and bursting with fresh strawberry flavor, this strawberry mousse might become your new favorite dessert. Our recipe is a whipped cream-style mousse, which is different\u2014and, dare I say, easier to make\u2014than traditional French mousse recipes<\/a> made with eggs.<\/p>\n

Made with three simple ingredients\u2014ripe strawberries, sugar and heavy whipping cream\u2014this strawberry mousse recipe is the perfect no-bake dessert to showcase juicy summer berries. It seems ultra-fancy but takes just 15 minutes to prepare. Whip up a batch of strawberry mousse to satisfy a craving for a sweet fruity dessert, serve it at a party, add it to a dessert charcuterie board<\/a>, or use it as a creamy filling in trifles and cakes!<\/p>\n

How to Make Strawberry Mousse<\/h2>\n

The first step for this light and airy strawberry mousse recipe is to puree strawberries with a bit of sugar. A blender or food processor is the best tool for making a quick, lump-free fruit puree.<\/p>\n

Then, it’s time to make the whipped cream base. I highly recommend breaking out a hand-held or stand mixer for this job. We beat the cream until stiff peaks form, which can take five minutes or more of continuous beating. You’ll know your cream has reached stiff peaks when it holds its shape as you pull the beaters out of the cream; the peaks of the cream should stand straight and firm.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the whipped cream is gently folded with the strawberry puree and the mixture is refrigerated for several hours to firm up before serving.<\/p>\n
