This 3-ingredient strawberry mousse is gentle, fluffy, and bursting with berry taste! Made with simply strawberries, whipped cream, and a contact of sweetness, it’s the right straightforward dessert for any event.

Right here at A Couple Cooks we’ve been on a kick of making 3 ingredient recipes, as a result of who doesn’t love simplicity? (We’re even authors of a cookbook all about easy recipes.) Right here’s our newest easy no bake dessert concept: this strawberry mousse recipe! A mix of ripe berries, heavy cream, and a contact of sweetener takes simply minutes to whip up and makes a pile of fluffy, berry-scented goodness. We noticed the idea on Instagram, then created our personal spin on it utilizing maple syrup, our immersion blender and a useful whisk. If you happen to’re like us, add a handful of crushed pretzels for that nostalgic punch of salty and candy!

All you want are 3 substances for this strawberry mousse

There’s a sure satisfaction to creating one thing with solely 3 substances, proper? This candy deal with is ideal for whipping up in a couple of minutes for dinner visitors or with a child in your life. You’ll want a small blender (or blender, hold studying for why), a whisk, and this handful of substances for make this lusciously fluffy berry mousse. Listed here are the substances you’ll want:

• Strawberries: Attempt to discover the ripest, reddest berries you may. Bonus factors for native berries! Take into account that out of season berries may be tart and tasteless, so making this within the winter months it’s not as tasty (although you may add extra sugar to compensate).
• Pure maple syrup, honey or sugar: We like this dessert finest sweetened with maple syrup, significantly the kind marked “Grade A: Darkish Colour and Strong Taste” within the US. We discover it has the very best taste and keep away from any syrups marked amber. Honey works nicely as a sweetener as nicely, as does granulated sugar.
• Heavy cream: This ingredient is what makes the magic! There aren’t any substitutes for heavy cream right here, because the dairy-fat is what makes the fluffy texture.

A scrumptious shortcut for mousse

We are going to admit this strawberry mousse just isn’t “technically” a conventional mousse like this chocolate mousse, which is cooked on the stovetop and thickened with eggs. Consider it as a scrumptious shortcut! Due to that, the feel is extra gentle and fluffy than a normal mousse. You’ll be able to refrigerate the mousse after whipping it up, which helps to make extra of a “set” texture.

You’ll be able to modify the sweetness to style

We like making this strawberry mousse recipe with 2 tablespoons sweetener, which makes for a frivolously candy mousse. However should you’re used to very candy desserts or are cooking for a crowd that’s, use 3 tablespoons sweetener for a sweet-tasting strawberry mousse. You additionally might wish to use sugar as your sweetener, because it brings a extra direct sweetness in comparison with the nuanced taste of maple syrup or honey.

Don’t have a small blender? No drawback

This recipe makes use of a small or immersion blender as a result of the general amount of berries is so small, it doesn’t mix nicely in a normal measurement of blender. (If you happen to’ve tried it, you understand!)

A meals processor also needs to work for this recipe. Or, double the recipe and make it in a normal blender so the amount is massive sufficient to mix. Then simply use half the strawberry puree for the mousse and use the remainder in different methods (see these concepts!).

One other option to serve it: as strawberry mousse pie!

This strawberry mousse is scrumptious served up in little jars with crushed pretzels or graham crackers. Or should you like, you can also make double the recipe and pour it right into a pretzel crust or graham cracker crust! Be certain to refrigerate it for just a few hours earlier than serving to set the mousse to a thicker texture.
