Ingredients
Scale
2 cups Fresh Strawberries, diced
¾ cup Sugar
1 cup Heavy Cream
2 teaspoons unflavored Gelatin
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
A pinch of Salt
Instructions
Prepare the Strawberries by washing them thoroughly, removing green tops, and dicing. Sprinkle half of the sugar over them and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
Make the Strawberry Puree by blending the macerated strawberries until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Bloom the Gelatin by sprinkling it over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Combine the blooming gelatin with the slightly cooled strawberry puree.
Whip the Cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
Fold the strawberry mixture gently into the whipped cream.
Chill the mousse in dessert glasses and cover with plastic wrap. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 240 minutes or overnight.
Serve the mousse topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
Notes
For a vegan option, use coconut cream and agar-agar instead of gelatin.
