Strawberry Mousse Cups

Strawberry Mousse Cups

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup finely chopped dark chocolate (optional, for texture)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberry Puree:
   • In a blender or food processor, puree the chopped strawberries until smooth.
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberry puree, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2. Bloom the Gelatin:
   • In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom.
   • Once bloomed, microwave the gelatin mixture for about 10 seconds or until it is dissolved. Stir it into the cooled strawberry puree.
3. Whip the Cream:
   • In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
4. Combine:
   • Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped cream until well combined. If using, fold in the finely chopped dark chocolate for added texture.
5. Fill the Cups:
   • Spoon the strawberry mousse into individual serving cups. Smooth the tops with a spoon or spatula.
6. Chill:
   • Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 2 hours, or until set.
7. Serve:
   • Serve chilled, straight from the cups.
