Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Mousse

Picture this: you’ve had a long day, and all you want is something creamy and delicious to lift your spirits. Enter our Strawberry Mousse! With luscious cream cheese (or coconut cream for my dairy-free friends), tangy yogurt, and fresh strawberries, it’s everything you’d want in a dessert—rich, fluffy, and absolute magic in every bite. Plus, it requires minimal effort, making it a go-to recipe for any occasion!

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream (whichever tickles your fancy)
4 oz yogurt (or extra cream cheese/coconut cream)
1 cup powdered sugar (or a sugar-free alternative if you’re watching the calories)
5 medium-sized strawberries (they should be bursting with flavor!)
Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste (just for that extra flair)

Steps to Craft Your Strawberry Mousse

Prepare the Cream: If you’re using cream cheese, go ahead and let it chill in room temperature for a bit—nobody wants a lumpy mousse! If coconut cream is your jam, simply open that can and scoop out the thick, creamy goodness.
Strawberry Prep: Remove the stems from your strawberries—like giving them a stylish haircut—then toss them into a blender or bowl. Blend or mash them until they’re all smooth and pureed.
Mix It All Together: In your blender (or a large mixing bowl if you prefer a workout), add the cream cheese, yogurt, powdered sugar, and your strawberry puree. Blend until everything is silky smooth. Feel free to add that optional vanilla paste here for a flavor boost!
Chill Out: Now, transfer your marvelous mixture into serving dishes. Pop them in the fridge for at least an hour. As the mousse chills, it thickens up beautifully.
Serve and Savor: Serve it as is, or get fancy! Layer it with some Coconut Whipped Cream, more diced strawberries, or even some sponge cake to make it a treat fit for royalty!

FAQs

Can I substitute the yogurt? Absolutely! If you’re not into yogurt, feel free to use an extra 4 oz of cream cheese or coconut cream.
How can I store leftovers? Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll last for up to 3 days—if it lasts that long!
Can I use frozen strawberries? Yes, just ensure they’re fully thawed and drained before blending to prevent excess water in your mousse.
