Sabrina’s Strawberry Mousse Recipe
This light and fluffy Strawberry Mousse may sound fancy but it is actually very easy to make! It really comes down to three key components: pureed strawberry mixture, whipped cream, and gelatin. They are prepared separately then folded together into the dreamiest, creamiest and fluffiest mousse filled with fresh strawberry flavor. Garnish it with Whipped Cream, fresh strawberry halves, and a mint sprig for a dessert that looks like it came from a gourmet bistro!
