This Fresh Strawberry Mousse is a great make ahead dessert for summer entertaining. I always thought of mousse as one of those restaurant dishes that I would never be able to make at home. That was until I found out about this method and I realise that making strawberry mousse is actually not so complicated! The only special equipment you need is a candy thermometer.
The method is described in more detail below, but all you’ll need to do is puree some strawberries with a little sugar. Prepare some sugar syrup and separately prepare some gelatin. Then combine beaten egg whites and sugar with whipped cream and fold in the pureed strawberry. This mousse comes together beautifully! You’ll be wondering why you avoided mousse for so long!
To make Fresh Strawberry Mousse, you will need the following ingredients:So, how do you make Fresh Strawberry Mousse?
Prepare the gelatin according to instructions indicated on the package.
Place the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a food processor. Mix well and allow to stand for about 10 minutes before blending until completely smooth.
Place 3 tablespoons of water and 6 tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Allow to cook without stirring for about 4 minutes until the temperature on the candy thermometer reads 240°.
Pour the egg whites into the bowl and beat well with a mixer at high speed.
Slowly sprinkle in the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Continue to beat the egg whites at high speed until soft peaks begin to form.
Slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the beaten egg whites, beating at medium speed. Once you have added all the syrup increase the speed to high and beat until stiff peaks start to form. Finally beat in the vanilla.
Whip the cream in a large bowl using an electric mixer at high speed. Continue until stiff peaks start to form.
Start by gently folding one quarter of the beaten egg whites into the whipped cream before adding the remaining egg whites.
Pour the prepared gelatin into the pureed strawberries and gently fold into the whipped cream and egg whites mixture.
Pour an equal amount of the mousse into 6 dessert glasses. Chill the mousse until it sets (around 2 hours).
Serve in dessert glasses.
