Ingredients
1poundstrawberriesquartered
2tablespoonsugar
1 ½cupsheavy whipping cream
Instructions
In a small saucepan combine the quartered strawberries, sugar and a tablespoon of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5-8 minutes, until the strawberries soften and release some of their juices.
Cool for a few minutes. Put the strawberries and all their liquids in into a blender or a food processor and puree until totally smooth.
Beat the heavy cream in a cold bowl. You can use either a stand mixer, a hand mixer or a whisk (though this makes it harder). If you use a cold bowl and beaters the whipped cream will be more voluminous.
Remove some of the whipped cream (maybe like ¼ -½ cup) to save for the top of each mousse cup, and gently fold the Strawberry puree into the remaining whipped cream. Since the puree is smooth and chilled it will fold in easily. Top the mousse with the reserved whipped cream before and a few fresh sliced strawberries before serving.
Notes
You can wrap the mousse and store in the fridge for up to three days.
