Ingredients
Main 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)
- 5 medium size strawberries
- Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Prepare the cream base: If using cream cheese, allow it to come to room temperature to ensure smooth blending. If using coconut cream, open the can and verify the contents are thick and creamy; discard if hard or flaky.
- Prepare the strawberries: Remove stems from the strawberries and blend or mash until they form a smooth puree.
- Combine and blend: In a food processor, blender, or using a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste (if using), and the strawberry puree. Blend until completely smooth and well incorporated.
- Chill and serve: Transfer the strawberry mousse into individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and chill fully.
Notes
- If using coconut cream, ensure it is fresh and creamy for the best texture.
- To make this mousse vegan, opt for coconut cream and a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
- You can substitute powdered sugar with a sugar-free alternative to reduce sugar content.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, add a few more berries or a splash of strawberry extract.
- Chilling the mousse for longer will improve its firmness and flavor melding.
