Ingredients

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
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces to make blending easier and to achieve a smooth texture.
  2. Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the cream cheese (or coconut cream), yogurt, and powdered sugar. Blend on medium speed until creamy and smooth.
  3. Add Strawberries and Flavor: Add the chopped strawberries and optional vanilla bean paste to the blender. Pulse or blend just until the strawberries are well incorporated but still slightly chunky for a natural fruit texture.
  4. Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mixture into serving cups or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh strawberries or a sprig of mint if desired. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and coconut yogurt.
  • Adjust sweetness by using powdered sugar or a sugar-free alternative according to your preference.
  • Let the mousse chill sufficiently to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
  • This mousse works great as a quick dessert or a light snack.
