Recipe for Strawberry Whipped Mousse

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled (or frozen, thawed)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries:
   • Blend the strawberries with sugar until smooth, creating a puree. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
   • Strain the puree to remove seeds (optional for a smoother texture).
2. Whip the Cream:
   • In a chilled bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
   • Add the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt or cream cheese (if using). Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
3. Combine:
   • Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness.
   • Add a few drops of food coloring if desired for a brighter pink color.
4. Chill or Freeze:
   • Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or piping bags for a decorative presentation.
   • For mousse: Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
   • For frozen whip: Freeze for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally, and serve as a semi-frozen dessert.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   • Top with fresh strawberries, whipped cream swirls, or a sprig of mint for a finishing touch. Serve chilled or slightly frozen.

Tips for Success
