Step-by-Step: How to Make Strawberry Mousse Cups
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
Wash and hull about 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Blend them until smooth. If you prefer a seedless texture, strain the puree through a fine sieve (optional).
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a large chilled bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip — you want it fluffy, not grainy.
Step 3: Mix the Base
In a separate bowl, combine:
-
1 cup strawberry puree
-
½ to ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk (adjust for sweetness)
Stir until smooth.
Step 4: Fold Gently
Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture. Do this slowly to keep the air in the mousse. Don’t stir aggressively — folding is key to that airy texture.
Step 5: Portion and Chill
Spoon or pipe the mousse into small dessert cups or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to set.
Serving Ideas
Make your mousse cups extra special with:
-
Fresh strawberry slices on top
-
A mint leaf garnish
-
White chocolate shavings
-
Crushed cookies at the bottom for a layered effect
-
A dollop of extra whipped cream
You can even turn this into a no-bake pie filling.
Storage Tips
-
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
-
Not ideal for freezing — it may lose its airy texture.
