Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, (1 ½ cups puree, strained)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder, (about ⅓ cup freeze-dried sliced strawberries ground in the blender)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, (chilled)
Method
- Blend the strawberries with the granulated sugar, lemon juice and salt until smooth, then strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer.
- Simmer the strained puree in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, then whisk in the freeze-dried strawberry powder.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl and leave it to bloom for 5 minutes.
- Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm puree over low heat for about 2 minutes until it melts completely and the mixture thickens slightly, then transfer it to a bowl, cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Beat the chilled heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks in a large bowl.
- Fold the chilled strawberry mixture through the whipped cream until no white streaks remain, then spoon or pipe the mousse into cups.
- Cover the cups and chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving.
