What Goes Into Strawberry Mousse

Crafting the perfect Strawberry Mousse relies on a few key ingredients that harmonize beautifully. The core components include fresh strawberries, which provide natural sweetness and vibrant flavor, and heavy whipping cream, which gives the mousse its luxurious texture. Using a sugar-free sweetener allows us to enjoy this treat without the guilt, making it an excellent option for health-conscious dessert lovers. Each ingredient works together to create a delightful experience that feels indulgent yet light.

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream – This creamy component is essential for achieving the light and airy texture of the mousse. The whipping cream adds richness and a velvety mouthfeel that makes each bite divine.
• 2/3 cup Swerve Confectioner’s sweetener – A sugar-free alternative that ensures our mousse remains sweet without the added carbs. It dissolves easily into the cream, offering a sweet flavor without compromise.
• 1 cup sugar-free strawberry puree – This fruity element brings life to the mousse, infusing it with fresh strawberry flavor. The puree is not only delicious but also gives the dessert its beautiful pink hue.

Directions for Strawberry Mousse

Getting the Strawberry Mousse ready is a straightforward process that anyone can master. Just follow these easy steps to create a dessert that will dazzle your guests. You’ll find that the combination of whipping, folding, and chilling makes the whole experience enjoyable!

1. First, ensure that the strawberry puree is cooled and set aside. This will help in maintaining the right texture when mixed with the whipped cream.
2. Next, place a large mixing bowl and the whipping whisks in the freezer for about thirty minutes. Chilling these tools will help the heavy whipping cream whip up more efficiently.
3. Once chilled, remove the bowl and whisks from the freezer. Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl. Begin whipping the cream until soft peaks start to form; this usually takes a few minutes at high speed.
4. Now, add the Swerve Confectioner’s sweetener to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until more defined soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, as you want to maintain that light texture.
5. Next, gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream using a rubber scraper. Employ an under-over motion to combine the two without deflating the cream. This is key to achieving that fluffy mousse.
6. Once fully incorporated, it’s time to scoop the mousse into individual serving dishes. This can be done gracefully with a spoon or piping bag, depending on your serving style.
7. After scooping, chill the mousse in the refrigerator for about two hours. This time allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to set perfectly.
8. When you’re ready to serve, garnish the mousse with additional fresh fruit or a half of a Vortman Bakery wafer for a delightful crunch.
9. Enjoy this heavenly dessert with friends and family, and watch their faces light up with joy!
