Print Recipe

A quick and simple dessert made with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and powdered sugar, ready in just 10 minutes. Perfect for a light, creamy treat that feels fancy without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and chop about 1 ½ cups of fresh strawberries. Place them in your blender or food processor and puree until smooth. For a bit of texture, pulse a few times instead of fully pureeing.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the strawberry puree and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Set aside.
  3. Chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 15 minutes to help the cream whip better.
  4. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled heavy whipping cream into the cold bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the strawberry puree while continuing to whip, then add powdered sugar if not already in the puree, and beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip or it will turn grainy.
  6. Spoon or pipe the strawberry mousse evenly into serving cups. Garnish with a strawberry slice or a mint leaf if desired.
  7. Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture, or serve immediately if in a rush.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Avoid over-whipping the cream to prevent grainy texture. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream. Adjust sweetness to taste.
