Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese or coconut cream
- 4 oz yogurt or additional cream cheese or coconut cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar or sugar free alternative
- 5 medium size strawberries, stems removed
- Optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Prepare the cream base: If using cream cheese, allow it to come to room temperature to soften. If using coconut cream, open the can and ensure the contents are thick and creamy; avoid using cans that are hard and flaky.
- Puree the strawberries: Remove the stems from the strawberries and blend or mash them until completely pureed to create a smooth strawberry base.
- Combine ingredients: Add the cream cheese or coconut cream, yogurt or additional cream cheese/coconut cream, powdered sugar, and optional vanilla bean paste to the pureed strawberries. Blend everything together using a food processor, blender, or hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Chill the mousse: Transfer the mousse mixture into serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to thicken and develop a creamy, airy texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese or coconut cream for the best creamy texture.
- For a sugar-free version, substitute powdered sugar with your preferred sugar substitute.
- Chilling time is important to let the mousse thicken properly.
- Coconut cream must be thick to achieve the right mousse consistency.
- This recipe can be made vegan by using coconut cream and a plant-based yogurt.
