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-sized strawberries
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream: If using cream cheese, allow it to come to room temperature. If using coconut cream, open the can and ensure the contents are thick and creamy (avoid cans with flaky or hard coconut cream as they won’t work well for mousse).
- Puree the Strawberries: Remove the stems from the strawberries and blend or mash them until pureed.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the pureed strawberries, cream cheese (or coconut cream), yogurt, powdered sugar, and optional vanilla bean paste to a food processor, blender, or use a hand mixer. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse to serving dishes and refrigerate for at least an hour. The mousse will thicken as it chills.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar depending on your preference.
- For an extra touch, top the mousse with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs before serving.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and dairy-free yogurt.
