Ingredients
Scale
- 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 youâre 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)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream: If youâre using cream cheese, go ahead and let it chill in room temperature for a bitânobody 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 strawberriesâlike giving them a stylish haircutâthen toss them into a blender or bowl. Blend or mash them until theyâre 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!
