This light and airy Strawberry Mousse combines creamy textures with fresh strawberry flavor, making it a delightful dessert that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion. Using either cream cheese or coconut cream for a dairy or dairy-free option, it’s blended with strawberries and sweetened to taste before chilling to achieve a luscious and smooth consistency.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 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

Fruit

  • 5 medium size strawberries

Optional Flavoring

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Base: If using cream cheese, allow it to come to room temperature for easier blending. For coconut cream, open the can and ensure the contents are thick and creamy; avoid cans with hard or flaky cream as they won’t yield a smooth mousse.
  2. Prepare Strawberries: Remove the stems from the strawberries, then blend or mash them until you achieve a smooth puree.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the cream base (cream cheese or coconut cream), yogurt or additional cream cheese/coconut cream, powdered sugar (or sugar substitute), and optional vanilla bean paste to the strawberry puree.
  4. Blend Mixture: Using a food processor, blender, or hand mixer, blend all ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  5. Chill Mousse: Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. The mousse will thicken significantly as it chills, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream in place of cream cheese and yogurt.
  • Ensure the coconut cream is thoroughly mixed if separated before measuring.
  • You can substitute powdered sugar with a sugar-free alternative to reduce calories.
  • Chilling time can be extended for a firmer mousse.
  • For extra flavor, garnish with fresh sliced strawberries or mint leaves before serving.
