Strawberry mousse ingredients
There’s a certain satisfaction to making something with only 3 ingredients, right? This sweet treat is perfect for whipping up in a few minutes for dinner guests or with a kid in your life. You’ll need a small blender (or blender, keep reading for why), a whisk, and this handful of ingredients to make this lusciously fluffy berry mousse. Here are the ingredients you’ll need: Ripe berries, heavy cream, and a touch of sweetener take just minutes to whip up into a pile of fluffy, berry-scented goodness. If you’re like us, you can add a handful of crushed pretzels when serving for that nostalgic sweet and salty hit! It’s such a fun treat that everyone in our family adores.
Strawberries: Try to find the ripest, reddest berries you can. Bonus points for local berries! Keep in mind that out of season berries can be tart and tasteless, so making this in the winter months it’s not as tasty (though you can add more sugar to compensate). Pure maple syrup, honey or sugar: We like this dessert best sweetened with maple syrup, particularly the type marked “Grade A: Dark Color and Robust Flavor” in the US. We find it has the best flavor and avoid any syrups marked amber. Honey works well as a sweetener as well, as does granulated sugar. Heavy cream: This ingredient is what makes the magic! There are no substitutes for heavy cream here, since the dairy fat is what makes the fluffy texture.

Because of that, the texture is more light and fluffy than a standard mousse. You can refrigerate the mousse after whipping it up, which helps to make more of a “set” texture. You can also use granulated sugar as your sweetener if you prefer! Sugar brings a more direct sweetness compared to the nuanced flavor of maple syrup or honey. A food processor should also work for this recipe. Or, double the recipe and make it in a standard blender so the quantity is large enough to blend. Then just use half the strawberry puree for the mousse and use the rest in other ways (see these ideas!). 5 from 1 review **A food processor should also work. Doubling the recipe works in a standard blender since the quantity is large enough to blend. If you don’t have a small blender, you can blend double the berries in a large blender and use half the puree for the mousse.
