Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Rubber spatula
  • 4 Ramekins

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets unflavored gelatin I use gold gelatin sheets from Dr. Oetker, 240 bloom value (read the note section on the bottom on how to replace it with powdered gelatin)
  • Cold water for soaking the gelatin
  • 175 g strawberries fresh or frozen
  • 50 g white granulated sugar
  • 15 ml lemon juice
  • 185 ml heavy whipping cream cold
  • Fresh strawberries or whipping cream for decoration

Instructions

  • Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl with cold water for 5 minutes.
  • Place the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice into a saucepan and purée using an immersion blender. You can also use a stand blender and then transfer the mixture into a saucepan.
  • When the gelatin has bloomed, squeeze the sheets to remove as much water as possible. Add the gelatin to the strawberry mixture and place the saucepan over medium heat.
  • Heat the mixture just until the gelatin sheets have completely dissolved. The end mixture should be warm, not hot. Do not bring the mixture to a simmer. When done, set aside to cool down until thickened but not set.
  • Whip the heavy whipping cream to soft peaks. Do not overwhip!
  • Pour the strawberry mixture through a fine sieve into the whipping cream.
  • Fold with a rubber spatula to a homogenous consistency.
  • Pour the final mixture into 4 standard-size ramekins or any other molds of your choice and refrigerate until set. Can take 2-4 hours. You can also freeze the mousse until set to speed up the prosses. Decorate with fresh strawberries or whipped cream before serving.

Notes

You can use 1 ½ teaspoons of Knox gold powdered gelatin instead of gold sheet gelatin from Dr. Oetker. Bloom 1 ½ teaspoons of gelatin in 6 teaspoons of cold water for 5 minutes before adding the mass you get to the strawberry purée.
Store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freeze it for up to 2 months.
