Strawberry Mousse Recipe

Ingredients

• 12 ounces strawberries (diced small, plus more for top if desired.)
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 4.5 tablespoon water
• 1.5 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine the strawberry mixture ingredients in a small saucepan before turning on the heat. Once everything is mixed, bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s thick and a deep red. The timing can vary a bit depending on your pan and the size of your strawberries. As they cook down, use a fork to gently mash them against the sides of the pan.

2. 2

   When the mixture is cool, spoon about 1 slightly heaping tablespoon of strawberry sauce into the bottom of each serving glass, pressing the sauce up the sides for a more decorative finish. Set aside while you make the whipped cream.

3. 3

   Whip the cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the remaining strawberry sauce, being careful not to deflate the air you just whipped in.

4. 4

   Divide the mousse into the glasses evenly (about ¾ a cup per glass). Decorate the top with additional strawberries if desired.
