Ingredients
  

  • 300 g fresh strawberries
  • 100 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 200 ml heavy cream (or crème fraîche)
  • 1 the juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • few sprigs of fresh mint

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Two mixing bowls
  • Whisk (hand mixer optional)
  • Flexible silicone spatula
  • Serving glasses or ramekins (4-6)

Method
 

  1. Rinse and hull the strawberries, then blend until smooth to create a purée.
  2. Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a bowl with sugar, and whisk until pale and creamy.
  3. Add the strawberry purée, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the egg yolk mixture, and mix until uniform.
  4. Whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks, then fold one third into the strawberry mixture before adding the rest.
  5. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the main mixture.
  6. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  7. For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider macerating the strawberries with sugar and lemon juice before blending.
  8. You can use full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version, and honey or maple syrup can replace the sugar.
  9. The mousse is best consumed within 24 hours, as the egg whites may start to separate over time. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
  10. Avoid freezing this mousse to maintain its texture.
  11. Variations include using different fruits like raspberries or mango, adding a touch of liqueur, or even creating a vegan version using aquafaba.
  12. Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious strawberry mousse!
  13. Optional: Garnish with mint sprigs before serving.
