Strawberry Mousse Recipe | Sugar-Free Easy Dessert
Description
The recipe combines cold heavy cream whipped to soft peaks with a sugar-free sweetener, then gently folded with cooled strawberry puree to maintain the mousse's lightness. The mixture is chilled for about two hours until set, producing a creamy, fluffy texture that holds shape but melts smoothly on the palate. The strawberry puree provides the main flavor component, imparting natural berry notes without added sugar.
This mousse serves well as an individual dessert, garnished with fresh fruit or wafers, enhancing the textural contrast. Its sugar-free nature makes it appealing for those monitoring carbohydrate intake, while still offering a delicate, fruit-accented creaminess.
The whipped cream and puree should be well chilled to achieve optimal volume and texture. Gently folding the puree preserves airiness. Serving chilled ensures the mousse holds its form and provides a refreshing mouthfeel.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2/3 cups Swerve confectioner's sweetener
- 1 cup Strawberry Puree sugar-free
Instructions
- Ensure strawberry puree is cooled and set aside.
- Place large bowl and whipping whisks in the freezer to get cold (about 30 minutes is all you need).
- Remove bowl and whisk from freezer and add whipping cream. Whip until soft peaks are just beginning to form. Add the sweetner and continue whipping until soft peaks form.
- Fold the berries into the whipped cream using a rubber scraper (under over motion) until fully incorporated.
- Scoop into individual serving dishes and chill for about 2 hours.
- Garnish with additional fruit or half or a Vortman Bakery wafer.
Notes
- Chill all equipment and ingredients before whipping to maximize volume of the mousse.
- Fold strawberry puree gently into whipped cream to preserve airiness for a light texture.
- Chill mousse for at least two hours to allow it to set properly before serving.
- Garnish with fresh fruit or wafers such as Voortman Bakery wafers to add texture and complement flavors.
- This recipe contains about 6 grams of carbs per serving, suitable for low-carb diets.
