Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream until fully combined.

🔥 Tips

For extra sweetness, add 1–2 tbsp powdered sugar to the whipped cream.
-
For a firmer mousse, dissolve ½ tsp gelatin in 1 tbsp water and fold in with the strawberry puree.

Can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
If you like, I can give you a quick 10-minute strawberry mousse version that doesn’t need gelatin or chilling for hours.
