Ingredients

  • 12 1/2 ounces strawberries (3/4 pound)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole or whipping cream (cold)
  • extra strawberries for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Clean and slice the strawberries, In a blender or food processor add the sliced strawberries and the sugar and puree.  Remove 1/2 a cup of puree and set aside.
  2. In a cold bowl add the cream and beat until stiff peaks form.  Then fold in the remaining puree (not the 1/2 cup) gently.
  3. Divide the 1/2 cup of puree between the 4 small/medium** glasses and top with the strawberry mousse.  Refrigerate for approximately 1 hour or even over night if desired.  Top with fresh sliced strawberries and serve.  Enjoy.
  4. ** for size purposes, the glasses I used hold 1 cup of water.

Notes

  • For anyone wanting to use this as a filling (eg pie or cake), this might help, whip the cream until thickened and stir in the puree, then in a small pot add 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gelatine on top, let stand one minute, then place the pot on low heat and heat just until the gelatine has dissolved, stirring often (1-2 minutes), do not boil, then immediately remove from heat. Add 1 -2 tablespoons of the whipped cream mixture to the gelatine mixture and stir gently to combine, fold the gelatine into the remaining whipped cream mixture.
