Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup strawberry nectar juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 1/2 pounds strawberries divided
- 8 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Garnish:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Add the water and strawberry juice into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on top of it. Mix until combined and set aside for about 5 minutes for the gelatin to bloom.
- Hull and chop 1 1/2 pounds of strawberries, add them to a large bowl and sprinkle with four tablespoons of sugar. Set aside for about 5-10 minutes.
- Add them to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the heavy whipping cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and powdered sugar to a large, cold bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, whip the mixture until stiff peaks form.
- Give the bowl with the gelatin a stir and melt it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just until the gelatin dissolves. Please do not bring it to a boil.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into the pureed strawberries, stir well, and then fold carefully into the whipped cream.
- Chop the remaining pound of strawberries and sprinkle with 3-4 tablespoons of sugar. Mix and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Stir again the strawberries and place some into the bottom of each serving glass. Top with the mousse mixture.
- Chill for about 4 hours in the refrigerator or until the mousse is set.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped berries and more fresh homemade whipped cream.
Notes
- The heavy cream must be VERY COLD, or it won’t whip up.
- Don’t boil your gelatin! Just very gently heat it up until dissolved.
- This should be chilled for at least 4 hrs., or the dessert will end up runny.
