This Easy Fresh Strawberry Mousse is made with only 3 ingredients, no gelatin and no bake. The perfect creamy fluffy Mousse dessert. A delicious dessert to serve at any occasion.
Say hello to spring with this simple yet out of this world dessert recipe.
So here I am again with a Fresh Strawberry dessert, and I have to admit this one is amazing. I was and always will be a lover of Mousse. Although I really just started making it more and more in the last year or so.
And I really don’t know what took me so long! I guess I have the Italian to thank, it was his idea to try making it after eating it in a restaurant. I liked the idea so I gave it a shot.
Back in March I made a Double Chocolate Mousse Cake for my youngest daughter’s birthday. And trust me it was good!
So now when I have friends over for dinner and I know I need to make a dessert. But let’s face it sometimes you really need something quick and easy and no bake.
And this Strawberry Mousse is just that! And only 3 ingredients!
How to make Strawberry Mousse
- In a blender or food processor puree the strawberries with the sugar.
- Remove about half a cup of puree and set aside.
- Whip the cream until very thick.
- Fold the remaining puree into the whipped cream until combined.
- Place a couple of tablespoons of strawberry puree on the bottom of each glass (4 medium glasses).
- Top with the Strawberry Mousse and then refrigerate for approximately one hour or even longer if desired.
- Serve with fresh sliced strawberries. So good!
Fresh Strawberry Mousse
Since this is Strawberry season in Italy, it is the fruit of the moment in our house. My daughter’s favourite, so we never have a shortage!
Although we did have a shortage of these Strawberry Mousse cups after the Italian got his hands on them. Definitely one of his no sharing desserts! Enjoy!

How far in advance Can this be made?
Rosemary says
Hi Priscilla, I would say a day in advance, cover the glass well with plastic wrap and refrigerate, it should be fine. Let me know how it goes.

I think this is exactly what I’m looking for….will this hold up in a white chocolate semi sphere? I’m looking for a strawberry mousse to present in the molded chocolate as the vessel with a dark chocolate drizzle, and this sounds delish! If not, I’ll use glass but my fingers are crossed!
Rosemary says
Hi Terri, I really don’t think it will be as firm as you are hoping it would be because there is no gelatine in it. Although the chocolate is firm enough it might work. Let me know. Take care.
Terri says
This makes a very pretty presentation dessert and it’s delicious!
