3-Ingredient Strawberry Mousse Cups

Step 2: Whip the Cream

1. Pour the chilled heavy whipping cream into a large mixing bowl.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This usually takes 2–3 minutes.
3. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to whip, allowing the cream to reach stiff peaks.

Tip: Make sure your bowl and beaters are cold—it helps the cream whip faster and stay fluffy.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

1. Take about a third of the whipped cream and gently fold it into the strawberry puree. This lightens the mixture and makes folding easier.
2. Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream with a spatula, using a gentle motion to maintain the airy texture. Avoid overmixing, as this can deflate the mousse.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Spoon or pipe the mousse into individual serving cups or glasses.
2. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, allowing the mousse to set and flavors to meld.
3. Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberry slices, mint leaves, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Tips for Perfect Strawberry Mousse

• Sweetness Check: Taste the strawberry puree before folding in the cream. If your strawberries are tart, add a little more powdered sugar.
• Texture Variation: For a more decadent dessert, fold in crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or a swirl of strawberry jam.
• Presentation Matters: Clear cups, mini mason jars, or dessert glasses make these mousse cups visually stunning.
