Instructions

Prepare Strawberry Puree: Blend the hulled strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the granulated sugar. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sugar to dissolve.
Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream together with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This will provide the mousse with its airy texture.
Combine Strawberry Puree and Whipped Cream: Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream using a spatula, taking care to maintain the light and fluffy consistency.
Prepare Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder over 3 tablespoons of warm water and allow it to dissolve completely. Let it cool slightly but not set, then fold it delicately into the strawberry cream mixture to stabilize the mousse.
Set the Mousse: Pour the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set and chilled before serving.

Notes

Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the strawberries and personal preference.
Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved and slightly cooled before folding into the mousse to avoid lumps.
For an extra decorative touch, garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves before serving.
This mousse is best served chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
