Equipment

  • Measuring cups
  • Kitchen scales
  • Small sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Food processor or blender
  • Electric hand mixer or balloon whisk
  • Medium to large size mixing bowl
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • 4 – 6 small ramekins or glasses that are at least ¾ to 1 cup capacity.

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams (1 pound) strawberries
  • ½ - ⅔ cup sugar or to taste if strawberries are sour
  • 300 grams (1 ¼ cups) whipping cream

Garnish - optional

  • Extra strawberries
  • Crème Chantilly

Instructions
 

  • Wash and pat dry the strawberries with a clean tea towel. Remove the stems and leaves from the strawberries and slice the strawberries in half.
  • Place the strawberries and sugar into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
  • Remove ¾ cup of strawberry puree and put it aside. The remaining puree will be added to the cream in step 5.
  • Place the cream into a large mixing bowl, and use an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk to beat the cream until soft peaks form.
  • Add the remaining strawberry puree (not the reserved ¾ cup of puree) to the cream. Use a spatula to gently mix the two together.
  • Use a spoon and evenly divide the reserved strawberry puree between 6 ramekins or glasses.
  • Next, evenly divide the strawberry mousse between the serving glasses.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Served chilled. Garnish with crème Chantilly and extra strawberries if desired.

Notes

DON’T HAVE A BLENDER?
If you don’t have a blender, you can use a sharp knife to chop strawberries into small pieces instead of the puree.
And use icing sugar (powdered sugar) and whip that in with the cream rather than the strawberries.
You will have more of a textured strawberries and whipped cream dessert rather than smooth, but it will still be very nice.
