Fresh Strawberry Mousse Parfait
Fresh strawberry mousse is an easy parfait dessert. It’s light and healthy with mounds of yummy berry whipped cream and puree layer making for a great no-bake recipe.
Equipment
- Blender
- Electric Hand Mixer
- 5-6 oz glasses or dessert cups
Ingredients
- 2 C fresh strawberries stems removed and cut in chunks
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ c granulated sugar
- 1 C heavy whipping cream
- 2 TB powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place a metal mixing bowl and the beaters in the freezer. Make sure they chill for 30-60 minutes before whipping the cream. Add the cream container to the freezer in the last 5 minutes of this process so the cream is very cold also.
- Place the strawberries, lemon juice, and the ¼ C sugar in a blender. Blend for a minute on high until combined and a thick puree results. Set aside.
- Once everything is chilled for the whipped cream, add the cold cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to the cold mixing bowl. Using an electric hand-mixer, beat on low for about a minute and then progressively add more speed until you are at a medium-high speed and nothing is splattering out. It takes about 5 minutes total to get the cream whipped into soft peaks as seen above in the photos.
- Next you will add ¾ of the strawberry puree into the whipped cream. Reserve the other ¼ to use as a pretty layer inside the dessert cups as you get these ready. Now fold the puree gently into the whipped cream until it is all combined evenly. .
- Using 6 small glass dessert cups or glasses, gently scoop the strawberry cream mousse into each glass and fill about ⅓ of the way up. Next add some of the puree a little at a time so each glass has an equal amount. Now top each with the remaining mousse so there are 3 layers to your pretty dessert.
- Chill for one hour in the refrigerator before eating. Enjoy!
- This are best made the day of but can be made a day ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator to enjoy later.
