PREPARATION TIME:

Prep Time:10

Total Time:10

Ingredients:

12 1/2 ounces strawberries (3/4 pound)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole or whipping cream (cold)
extra strawberries for topping

Instructions:

- Clean and slice the strawberries, In a blender or food processor add the sliced strawberries and the sugar and puree. Remove 1/2 a cup of puree and set aside.
- In a cold bowl add the cream and beat until stiff peaks form. Then fold in the remaining puree (not the 1/2 cup) gently.

Divide the 1/2 cup of puree between the 4 small/medium** glasses and top with the strawberry mousse. Refrigerate for approximately 1 hour or even over night if desired. Top with fresh sliced strawberries and serve. Enjoy.
** for size purposes, the glasses I used hold 1 cup of water.

Notes:

For anyone wanting to use this as a filling (eg pie or cake), this might help, whip the cream until thickened and stir in the puree, then in a small pot add 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gelatine on top, let stand one minute, then place the pot on low heat and heat just until the gelatine has dissolved, stirring often (1-2 minutes), do not boil, then immediately remove from heat. Add 1 -2 tablespoons of the whipped cream mixture to the gelatine mixture and stir gently to combine, fold the gelatine into the remaining whipped cream mixture.
