With so much strawberries on sale now, this makes me want to search out recipes using this fruit. I thus decided to try out a mousse which seems relatively easy. And I must say that it was not only easy, it was delicious as well! The mousse had a slight tartness to it and was extremely smooth with each bite. You can also opt to serve the mousse with some whipped cream, fresh cut strawberries or a strawberry sauce.
Strawberry Mousse
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
1 tablespoon water
8 oz (210g) strawberries, pureed
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup (190ml) heavy cream
Method:
1) Prepare the strawberry mousse: sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl and set aside to bloom (soften).
2) In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, stir together the strawberries and sugar just until hot.
3) Add the gelatin and stir until it is completely melted. Let cool to room temperature.
4) In the meantime, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Once the strawberries are at the right temperature, carefully fold the whipped cream into the fruit base.
5) Pour into serving bowls and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

The presentation and photo are really great. The dessert alone was guaranteed to be delish, but this is fantastic.
Whoaaaaa... those strawberry mousse looks so beautiful!
Oh it looks delightful! I want some!
What a gorgeous mousse and pretty shots! I have the same IKEA bowl as you ;-P...
Cheers,

This indeed is a lovely dessert. They look even more pretty in those ceramic bowl set. Btw i wonder how you are holding the spoon in your third click??
That looks gorgeous! I love your dishes and photos, too.

Hi everyone and many thanks for dropping by.
Rosa, actually I didn't get these from Ikea as the Singapore outlet don't sell such ramikins.
Ramya, haha unfortunately I'm not that great. The ramikin actually has a hanging hook for the spoon which will dangle above it. I thought it was pretty neat thus bought these to add to my collection.
I'm definitely going to make a sugar-free version of this. It looks so lovely with that pink hue. Will be sure to link back to you. Found you on Tastespotting! :)
this looks yummmy and the great thing is the recipe does not look all complicated! well, except for the part of whipping double cream, i always found it a bit harder to tackle than just whipping cream. or rather my mum keeps telling me it is hard. haha
just realized that in the recipe, you dont mention when you put in the zest and lemon juice?
