Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
- 4 oz yogurt or additional cream cheese/coconut cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar or sugar-free alternative
Fruit
- 5 medium-sized strawberries
Optional Flavoring
- 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Remove the cream cheese or coconut cream and yogurt from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for easier blending. Wash and hull the strawberries to prepare for purée.
- Make Strawberry Purée: In a blender or food processor, combine the washed strawberries until smooth. You may strain the purée if you prefer a smoother texture, removing seeds as desired.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt, powdered sugar, and optional vanilla bean paste to the strawberry purée. Blend everything together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and evenly combined.
- Chill the Mousse: Transfer the blended mousse into serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the mousse to firm up slightly and develop a chilled, airy texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, serve the mousse as is or garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves for an added touch. Enjoy this light and creamy strawberry mousse immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute cream cheese with coconut cream to make this mousse dairy-free and vegan.
- For a sugar-free version, use a sugar-free powdered sugar alternative that measures similarly.
- Letting the cream cheese and yogurt soften at room temperature helps achieve a smoother blend.
- Chilling the mousse is important for a proper fluffy texture but can be adjusted depending on your preference.
- The mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
