Method
Preparation
- Wash and hull 300 grams of strawberries, then blend into a smooth puree.
- Strain the strawberry puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds for a silky texture.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water and let bloom for 5 minutes.
- Gently warm the bloomed gelatin until dissolved; do not boil.
Making the Mousse
- Whip 300 milliliters of cold heavy cream with 50 grams of sugar until soft peaks form.
- Warm half of the strawberry puree slightly and whisk in the dissolved gelatin until combined.
- Add the remaining strawberry puree and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the gelatin mixture and cool to room temperature.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture using a spatula, keeping it light and airy.
Setting and Sauce
- Pour the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- For the sauce, simmer 150 grams chopped strawberries with 30 grams sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon juice for 10 minutes until thickened.
- Cool the sauce completely before drizzling over the set mousse.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves before serving.
