Ingredients
Base
- 8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
- 4 oz yogurt (or additional cream cheese or coconut cream)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (or sugar free alternative)
- Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
Fruit
- 5 medium size strawberries, stems removed
Instructions
- Prepare the dairy or coconut base: If using cream cheese, let it come to room temperature to ensure smooth blending. If using coconut cream, open the can and check that the contents are thick and creamy. Discard any cans with hard or flaky cream as they won’t blend well for mousse.
- Puree the strawberries: Remove stems from the strawberries, then blend or mash them until smooth to create a fresh strawberry puree for the mousse.
- Combine ingredients and blend: In a food processor, blender, or using a hand mixer, add the strawberry puree, cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt, powdered sugar, and optional vanilla bean paste. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and fluffy.
- Chill and set: Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate. The mousse will thicken considerably as it chills, reaching the perfect texture for serving.
Notes
- Room temperature cream cheese blends more easily for a smooth mousse.
- Coconut cream should be thick, not watery, for optimal mousse texture.
- Use sugar-free powdered sugar for a lower sugar alternative.
- Vanilla bean paste is optional but enhances flavor.
- Chilling time is recommended for best texture, although preparation time is just about 5 minutes.
- This recipe serves 6, perfect for small gatherings or family desserts.
