Ingredients
  

Berry Base
  • 3 cups strawberries hulled
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh
Mousse
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups heavy cream cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Spatula
  • Freezer
  • Scoop
  • Tray
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Blend strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Strain if you prefer a silky finish.
  2. Beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Slowly mix strawberry puree into cream cheese until fully combined.
  4. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks in a chilled bowl.
  5. Fold whipped cream into strawberry mixture gently to keep the mousse airy.
  6. Spoon into glasses or dish and smooth tops attractively.
  7. Refrigerate until set. Serve with extra berries for bright texture contrast.

Notes

For softer mousse, chill just until cold. For firmer scoops, freeze 15 minutes before serving. Fold gently so volume stays lofty. Use raspberries or mango for flavor changes. Store covered in refrigerator up to 2 days.
