In the heat of the summer, no-bake desserts are at the top of my list. Squip the oven and make this quick and simple strawberry mousse to present some of my favorite products of the season.
The compilation of this light and fluffy mousse could not be easier. You only need heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powder -shaped sugar and fresh strawberries. The base is broken down in a very short time, a purée of strawberries giving a fruity taste and a beautiful pink color. Pull it up or down and serve it at any time.
Tips and tricks
- Make it forward: This mousse takes time to relax and put in the fridge, which makes it the ideal preparation dessert. Whip it in the morning and let it sit until you are ready to garnish and serve in the evening.
- Use a cold bowl: Just like in the production of homemade whipped cream, start with a cold bowl and whisk the best texture. Leave the bowl for 45 minutes or in the freezer in the fridge for 20 minutes before it is time to whip. Also start with cold cream.

How to make my 4-contestive material mousse
To make four to six portions, they need:
- 1 pound of fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 2 cups (16 ounces) heavy whipped cream
- 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/3 cups (150 g) powdered sugar
Put four strawberries aside for garnish. Covers the remaining strawberries, then puree in a food processor and pulsate for 10 seconds.
In the chilled bowl of a blender or a large bowl when you use a hand mixer, whip the cream and the mascarpone cheese at medium speed until smooth and soft tips, approx. 3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and whip until the mixture becomes thicker for about 2 minutes.
Carefully fold 1 cup of berry puree into the whipped cream mixture in two additions and reserve the rest for gladding. Hold the mousse in the mixed bowl, put them in a serving bowl or enter the mousse in individual serving shells or glasses. Cover the mousse and let it cool in the fridge at least 1 hour.
If you are ready to serve, dice the reserved strawberries. Cover the mousse and serve with the remaining strawberry puree and the diced strawberries.
Lay them and can be covered and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
