Strawberry Mousse Recipe

**Ingredients:**

– 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp lemon juice
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Fresh strawberries for garnish
– Whipped cream for garnish

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare Strawberry Puree:**
– In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
– Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and set aside.

2. **Whip the Cream:**
– In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream will turn to butter.

3. **Combine:**
– Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream until fully combined and the mixture is smooth and light pink in color.

4. **Chill:**
– Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

5. **Serve:**
– Before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry on top.
