Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh and ripe strawberries
- 1 cup double cream ( whipping cream, heavy cream)
- 3 tablespoon condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon powder gelatin
Instructions
- Add the cream to a mixing bowl and use a hand mixer to beat it until you get stiff peaks.
- Add the condensed milk and continue to beat until you get a smooth shiny mixture.
- Add the powder gelatin to a ramekin and pour 4 tablespoons of hot water over it.
- Mix it well to dissolve the gelatin completely.
- Remove any green bits from the strawberries and cut them in half.
- Add them a blender and blitz to a puree texture.
- Pass the puree through a sieve to remove any seeds, then mix the gelatin liquid with the puree.
- Reserve half of the puree for decorating, and mix the remaining puree with the cream.
- Beat well to get a smooth texture.
- Divide the mixture between serving glasses or ramekins and top with the reserved strawberry puree.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes
- If you use a gelatin sheets, you will have to follow the packet instructions to see how to use them, this recipe is written specifically for powder gelatin.
- The mousse will need to be refrigerated before serving to allow the mousse to set well, otherwise it will be sloppy and cream-like rather than light and airy. I would recommend at least 4 hours in the fridge, ideally overnight.
- It is crucial to pass the strawberry puree through a sieve before adding it to the cream, otherwise the mousse will be grainy and nowhere near as smooth as it should be.
