I’m a dessert lover. I really can’t help it. When I was younger I really loved ice cream. After eating a lot of food, there was always some space left for the best meal of the day: dessert. Even now, a couple of years later, i’m not changed at all. I wonder myself about the different desserts that are available in the world. And these don’t have to be difficult to make either. One I mentioned earlier was the Chocolate Mousse and Mango Mousse. Today a recipe that looks a lot like this, only this time with a different fruit. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how to make Strawberry Mousse.
What is the definition of Strawberry Mousse
The meaning of Strawberry Mousse is:
”A strawberry mousse is a dessert that contains of strawberries, sugar and whipping cream. By mixing the whipping cream you get air bubbles that provide the airy and light texture. The mousse can be light, but also thick and creamy”.
Strawberry Mousse
A dessert can have several options. You may be amazed by the flavors from sweet to sour, as well as different textures. A mousse is such a dessert that may surprise you. The texture is so light and can also contain so much flavor. You don’t need many ingredients for a mousse either. Although you need few ingredients, you have to do everything right.
The most important thing is to whip the whipping cream until you see soft peaks. Then it is a matter of mixing the strawberry puree with the whipping cream. You can do this carefully with a spatula. After this, it’s time to fill the glasses and cool them. I recommend for a minimum of 30 minutes. Do you need the dessert a few hours later? No problem, you can just put them in the fridge. This can result in that the mousse becomes a little thicker, depending on the temperature of the refrigerator.
You finish this dish by adding some fresh strawberries in pieces at the top. Below the steps briefly explained:
- Wash and cut the strawberries
- Add the strawberries and sugar in the blender and start mixing
- If you get a nice puree stop mixing
- Grab a bowl and add the whipping cream and Start mixing until you get soft peaks.
- When you have soft peaks add the strawberry puree and mix it together.
- Add the mixture in a glass, cool it for a minimum of 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes enjoy your mousse!
