Strawberry Mousse (3 Elements!) – A Couple Cooks

This 3-ingredient strawberry mousse is gentle, fluffy, and bursting with berry taste! Made with simply strawberries, whipped cream, and a contact of sweetness, it’s the proper straightforward dessert for any event.

Right here at A Couple Cooks we’ve been on a kick of making 3 ingredient recipes, as a result of who doesn’t love simplicity? (We’re even authors of a cookbook all about easy recipes.) Right here’s our newest easy no bake dessert thought: this strawberry mousse recipe! A mix of ripe berries, heavy cream, and a contact of sweetener takes simply minutes to whip up and makes a pile of fluffy, berry-scented goodness. We noticed the idea on Instagram, then created our personal spin on it utilizing maple syrup, our immersion blender and a helpful whisk. In case you’re like us, add a handful of crushed pretzels for that nostalgic punch of salty and candy!

All you want are 3 components for this strawberry mousse

There’s a sure satisfaction to creating one thing with solely 3 components, proper? This candy deal with is ideal for whipping up in a couple of minutes for dinner company or with a child in your life. You’ll want a small blender (or blender, preserve studying for why), a whisk, and this handful of components to make this lusciously fluffy berry mousse. Listed here are the components you’ll want:

• Strawberries: Attempt to discover the ripest, reddest berries you may. Bonus factors for native berries! Take into account that out of season berries will be tart and tasteless, so making this within the winter months it’s not as tasty (although you may add extra sugar to compensate).
• Pure maple syrup, honey or sugar: We like this dessert greatest sweetened with maple syrup, significantly the kind marked “Grade A: Darkish Coloration and Sturdy Taste” within the US. We discover it has one of the best taste and keep away from any syrups marked amber. Honey works effectively as a sweetener as effectively, as does granulated sugar.
• Heavy cream: This ingredient is what makes the magic! There aren’t any substitutes for heavy cream right here, because the dairy fats is what makes the fluffy texture.

A scrumptious shortcut for mousse

We are going to admit this strawberry mousse will not be “technically” a standard mousse like this chocolate mousse, which is cooked on the stovetop and thickened with eggs. Consider it as a scrumptious shortcut! Due to that, the feel is extra gentle and fluffy than an ordinary mousse. You may refrigerate the mousse after whipping it up, which helps to make extra of a “set” texture.

You may regulate the sweetness to style

We like making this strawberry mousse recipe with 2 tablespoons sweetener, which makes for a calmly candy mousse. However when you’re used to very candy desserts or are cooking for a crowd that’s, use 3 tablespoons sweetener for a sweet-tasting strawberry mousse. You additionally might need to use sugar as your sweetener, because it brings a extra direct sweetness in comparison with the nuanced taste of maple syrup or honey.

Don’t have a small blender? No downside

This recipe makes use of a small or immersion blender as a result of the general amount of berries is so small, it doesn’t mix effectively in an ordinary measurement of blender. (In case you’ve tried it, you understand!)

A meals processor must also work for this recipe. Or, double the recipe and make it in an ordinary blender so the amount is giant sufficient to mix. Then simply use half the strawberry puree for the mousse and use the remaining in different methods (see these concepts!).

One other technique to serve it: as strawberry mousse pie!

This strawberry mousse is scrumptious served up in little jars with crushed pretzels or graham crackers. Or when you like, you may make double the recipe and pour it right into a pretzel crust or graham cracker crust! Make sure that to refrigerate it for just a few hours earlier than serving to set the mousse to a thicker texture.

Weight loss plan issues, and a trick for vegan

This strawberry mousse recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free. Now we have not examined a vegan variation, however we’d recommend attempting this vegan heavy whipping cream by Nora Cooks and gently folding within the strawberry puree. Tell us when you attempt it!
