Sometimes we need to make a dessert without spending the entire day in the kitchen, right? I like these easy peasy recipes, especially when entertaining and pushed for time, they make a great finale for any dinner. Take the stress out, make it a day ahead!
Eggless Strawberry Mousse
The mousse is made of fresh strawberries to keep the dessert fresh and fruity. The other ingredients are heavy cream, powdered sugar and lemon juice! Add a drop of strawberry extract for a more vivid taste!
No eggs and gelatin are required. The mousse is firm enough to hold its shape when refrigerated, but as it comes to room temperature it develops that soft pillowy texture – so serveit just right from the fridge. Happy Eating!!
- The mousse can also be used as a filling for cakes!
- For best results, use ripe strawberries.
Now that strawberries are in season, try this easy peasy strawberry mousse! Everyone loved it and it so easy to whip together.
